This picture tells you almost all you need to know about Dave Matheson from Penticton.
Sure he is one of Canada’s top age-group triathletes, Ironman age-group dominator, Ultra-triathlon champion, CRA employee… but at the end of the day he’s the kind of guy you’d want to go to Cannery Brewing with and share a pint.
In Fitspeek 229, we do a catch-up episode with Dave after his recent trip to Hawaii, where he participated in the Ultraman World Championships.
You don’t survive three days of racing — 10 km of swimming, a double marathon, and brutal amounts of cycling — without an amazing crew – but even then, things can go sideways. From mechanical failures before the race even started to ill-timed red lights and competitors who forgot the meaning of Ohana, Dave lays out a journey that was at times as dark as it was determined, grinding all the way to the finish line. Hear it now by pressing play.
