What could be more fun than having one of Canada’s top long-course triathletes on a podcast? Well, how about 3 of them?
Danielle Fauteux had an ambitious end to her season last year with some stellar performances at the Ironman distance, not only qualifying for the world championships but also going under 9 hours in Arizona.
In what could be labelled as a rebuilding year, Deb Eckhouse overcame (mostly) a mystery illness and a serious bike crash. She’s recovered and racing again!
And although it’s only April, Tamara Jewett has kicked off her season with a 3rd at Ironman New Zealand and a 4th at 70.3 Geelong, Australia. Both results come from world-class run performances.
On the show, we start with reviews of their 2025 seasons + previews of the upcoming year. After that, we geek out on race day nutrition. In her half-iron event in Australia Tamara consumed an average of 86g of carbs / hour. I wanted to know how her stomach responded to that load. She told us! We also get the inside scoop on what + how much Deb and Danielle take in. Most of us could learn from that!
And speaking of learning, back in the days of Lisa Bentley and Lori Bowden, social media wasn’t part of the job description. Now it very much is. While it helps athletes tell their story and build their brand, it also takes time — something today’s pros know all too well. In this episode, we chat about the role social media plays in their careers, the sponsors helping them get to the start line, and plenty more. Just over 30 minutes with 3 of Canada’s fastest long-course women is only a click away.
