Interview Sponsor UCAN:

There are more reasons to promote fat loss than improving your appearance – whether it’s your goals to increase your athleticism, boost your fitness performance, or to feel healthier on a daily basis, a more optimal body composition with more muscle and less fat is attainable. But the food you choose to eat matters – for your overall health as well as your fitness.

When you focus on keeping your insulin low, studies show a decrease in fat storage and an increase in breakdown and oxidation of fat. SuperStarch is a perfect carbohydrate – it gives you the energy you need to fuel a workout properly without a drastic increase in your insulin levels, so it allows you to burn fat as fuel more efficiently.

UCAN Performance Energy and Bars are powered by SuperStarch®.   Use in your training to fuel the healthy way and recover quickly!

Interview with Rinny and T.O.:

Speaking of UCAN.  We have UCAN fan Tim O'Donnell.  T.O. is one of the world’s most successful and experienced American long-course triathletes. As a professional, he has earned 50+ podium finishes including over 22+ wins at major events throughout the world.  In 2019 in Kona we saw him put in an awesome performance to break 8 hours and claim the title of fastest American in Kona ever!

T.O.'s better half Mirinda Carfrae IRONMAN World Champion 2010, 2013 & 2014.  We've been eager to interview Rinny for years now.  She has just joined the Aqua Sphere team.  She and TO have an announcement that they made a couple of weeks ago.  For those of you that follow them, you know what we're talking about.  If you don’t, well…..let's get into the interview.

 

Post Interview Discussion

Virtual racing just not the same. We like the pressure of real racing. 

PTO and how triathlon will survive.  It's up to us.

What's New in the 303:

The Black Hills, a Triathlon, Bike Ride and Buffalo

175 athletes competed in either the Olympic or Long Distance (half Iron) race. This course was tough with a very hilly one or two loop bike course and run. The bike course took riders on a scenic loop through Custer State Park—appropriately named the Wildlife Loop.

Local triathlete, Kirsten McCay who won her age group and loves this triathlon said, “My favorite things about this race are the challenging but scenic bike course, the laid back atmosphere, no time limit for the course so everyone can finish, and the cash prizes for the top 3 overall men and women.” $800, $400 and $300 are given to the overall winners—not bad!

Karen Hornbostel Memorial Time Trial

Beautiful weather and temperatures for this week's KHMTT Week 2.
