Peter Filice: Digs deep into the psyche of multisport athletes

On Fitspeek 121 our guest is University of Victoria Master’s student Peter Filice. He is doing research for his thesis and his topic is “How Covid-19 is influencing the minds of triathletes.” With the death of the 2020 racing season, did it mean we were destined to become lovers of Netflix or guzzlers of endless IPA? Peter is going to touch on that in our interview.

Also, with only days until Christmas, we know that there are at least 4 or 5 of you out there who have yet to begin your shopping. For those well-meaning but tardy Santas out there, we have some excellent suggestions, courtesy of Roy McBeth.

Abbotsford Triathlon Coach, Mikey Ross rounds out the program. On this week’s Top Five List, Mikey gives some timely pointers on how to take care of your treadmill and your pave cave, so it can last longer and provide a great training environment.

In part two of our interview with Ben we find out what it’s like to race overseas and we also ask Ben about training advice, both good and bad.

Multi-tribal, multi-sporting, multi-talented. Roy McBeth: Fitspeek 112

Yes, that’s a disc wheel cover. Yes it really is fast! Yes it is only about 150 bucks.

Fitspeek celebrates the start of season four with a blockbuster of an interview with an athlete who defines multisport, Maple Ridge’s Roy McBeth.

Roy’s core tribe with him through thick and thin. His wife Anne & his son Connor.

Little did the young Roy know, while he was playing pond hockey in Prince George that he’d become one of the most competitive aquabikers and off-road triathletes in the provinces. Nor would he know about the challenging path he’d have to travel to get there.

Roy saw the Covid crisis an opportunity to work on his run. The work, worked! He is off to the 70.3 World Championships!

Being diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease early in life meant it was only a matter of time before Roy would either need to have dialysis or a kidney transplant. Rather than live life on the sidelines Roy grabbed life by the horns and excelled both in his professional & his athletic life. In Fitspeek 112 you’ll hear the first part of Roy’s engaging story about his transformation from bodybuilder to cyclist to triathlete.

Also on program 112, our regular contributor, Coach Mikey Ross from the Abbotsford Triathlon club stops by for another Top Five List. You can hear it all now by pressing play below.
