Fitspeek 195: Tracey McQuair and the Ohana Experience

When it comes to endurance sports, how long is long enough? How long is too long? You’ll never know until you try! Penticton’s Tracey McQuair found that it was at the Ultraman Distance that she was able to really shine.

After the usual route of Standard-Distance to Iron-Distance, Tracey’s interest in doing something even longer, was piqued by her boss at Peach City Runners, Steve Brown. After serving a bit of an apprenticeship as a crew member at Ultraman, Tracey decided to give it a go herself. She had an amazing 1st experience and was hooked not only because of the race itself but also because of the very cool people in the small but very tightly knit ultra-triathlon community.

On the podcast, we hear about Tracy’s progression from being a swim club in the Lower Mainland, to bike racer in Edmonton, to Ultra-Champion and beyond.   

We are excited to bring on another partner to the Fitspeek fold! Not only is Saturday many folks favourite day of the week, it’s an app that helps guide you through the sometimes murky waters of raceday and training fueling. It comes down to sugar, salt, and water… all in the right amounts. Saturday helps you dial in exactly those amounts with their app. Click on the links below to learn more about the app and sports nutition.

With spring in the air it’s time to dial back that close relationship you have with Zwift. The roads and trails are calling! Tackle them both with the Rogue by A2. Click on the bike to see your build options.
