Episode Summary:

Welcome to the first episode!  I am starting it off with a bang.  I completed a lengthy interview with Ultraman race announcer Steve King.  So lengthy, that I decided to split it into three parts.  In this episode Steve shares stories of the life changing events he attended during his athletic career as a race walker, triathlete and endurance runner. 

You will also be introduced to upcoming Ultraman Canada 2021 participant Chad Bentley. Chad is a well-respected plant-based endurance athlete.  He is a marathoner, Ultra-marathoner, multi-time Ironman finisher, 2-time Ultraman finisher, 2-time Ultra 520 finisher, and the first Canadian to compete in the EPIC 5 Challenge.
