Show notes
I finally broke down and invited my ex wife Lucy Ryan to the podcast.Lucy has become one of the top female ultra athletes in Canada taking on five 515 events and a number of ultra marathons. She was the 9th Canadian woman to complete Badwater 135 and has also competed at Brazil 135, a race that follows the most difficult segment of the Caminho da Fé or Path of the Faith, the longest Pilgrimage in Brazil. It travels over the Mantiqueira Mountains, and has 30,000 feet of cumulative ascent and 28,000 feet of cumulative descent, with only 10 flat miles in the race. We talk about how she came to find triathlon and why she pushed to go farther and farther in ultras. We also discuss the various ways in which her body has forced her to “limit” what she now does. Like hiking at Kilimanjaro as a member of the Kidney Donor Athletes program. Steve King Stories features Dr Toni Barstis, professor of chemistry and physics and Ultraman competitor.Time Stamps & Topics: 01:00 Conversation with Lucy Ryan part one 27:35 Steve King Stories : Dr. Toni Barstis 31:00 Conversation with Lucy Ryan part twoResources mentioned in this episode:Ironman Western AustraliaWAT Women’s Academy of TriathlonIM CanadaIronman World ChampionshipUltraman CanadaUltraman World Championship Brazil 135Badwater 135UM FloridaIM WisconsinIM Lake PlacidTitanium ManIM Mont TremblantUltra 520 CanadaKidney Donor AthletesShout outs and mentions in this episode:Juan CraveriChad BentleyAnne BarnesSteve BrownGrayson RyanStacey ShandPaulo Calll Sergio CordeiroDave BarstisJohn BarstisTodd HineJason Henderson Shane MascarinNick MalletMakato Hoshino___________________________________________________________Show Contributors:Host : Larry Ryan Contributing Raconteur : Steve KingAnnouncer : Mary Jo DionneProduction : 5Five EnterprisesMusic : Run by 331___________________________________________________________For show notes and past guests, please visit the Podcast Website: https://515theultrapodcast.buzzsprout.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/515TheUltraPodcastIf you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes or where you get your pods.
