Listen + Win A FREE Entry. Fitspeek 226.Wild Rose Women’s Events – Vancouver Indoor Triathlon.

Richelle Love is on a mission! A mission to get as many females into the sport of triathlon as possible.

Richelle’s company, Wild Rose Women’s Events, has been around for a decade and is coming to Vancouver later this month to host a women’s only triathlon.

It’s a unique format that features: a 10 minute swim (swim toys allowed!), a 20 minute bike (indoors on a spin bike), and a 15 minute run (as many laps as you can).

Richelle believes there should be as few barriers as possible to get into triathlon. Fitspeek agrees! That’s why we are teaming up to give you and a girlfriend A FREE PAIR OF ENTRIES to the event.

To win, simply email fitspeek@gmail.com and tell me the answer to this question, “what is Richelle’s last name?”

On the podcast this week, Richelle and I have a very high-energy discussion on topics ranging from horses to race t-shirts to dinosaur-infused fondos to her history in triathlon. Of course, I had to ask her WHY she started a company that focuses on female-friendly events. Tune in and win! Click the link below to hear the show.

Fitspeek 224: Ultra Swimming Champs Charlie Bourne + Dave Michael

In the world of endurance sports, ultra swimmers are unique athletes. Although in ultra cycling and running you are up against the elements, few challenges can compare with the force of waves battering you for hours on end.

On this week’s show, we spotlight two of B.C.’s top ultra swimmers, both hailing from Penticton. Charlie Bourne captured the 12K title at the Skaha Lake Ultra, while Dave Michael topped the 18K field at the Big Effort Swim in Christina Lake. Two local athletes, two big wins but that’s probably where the similarities end. Charlie is a high school student, whereas Dave just sent his kids off to university this week. Hear their stories about what motivated them to attempt their big swims, how they prepared, and what their race days were like by pressing play below.

If it’s time to replace your bike rack Swagman has you covered, even if you don’t have a hitch connector.
