Clint Lien is back on Fitspeek — tri-guru, writer for Triathlon Magazine Canada, and one of the forces behind the 94 Forward Triathlon Group in Victoria.
We start the episode on a somber note: the tragic passing of Canadian athlete Hannah Henry in Arizona. Clint shares what he knew of Hannah, the GoFundMe to support her, and reflects on the risks of training on the road.
From there, the conversation shifts to 94 Forward and the Victoria triathlon scene. Clint talks about the program’s history, who it’s for, and what it takes to thrive as a young Canadian triathlete. Along the way, he drops a few gems of philosophy:
- “What you will do, you will get good at — if you do it enough.”
- And his signature hardcore perspective on sports nutrition: he’d rather cut off a finger than pay five bucks for a gel.
Finally, we look ahead to 2026. Clint shares his excitement for the upcoming multisport season, what’s changed (and what hasn’t) in Canadian triathlon, and a peek at his personal adventures.
