Quotes: “Sometimes we’re not built the same way as other people and we have to accept that things in our bodies break down…There should be a constant revolving door of maintenance where we work on our issues in a way that lets us compete” “It’s hard often for an individual to recognize that they need to train within their personal parameters because most athletes, especially with the mindset that I have, want to do more than they should” “Knowing your biological data when racing is probably more of a cue than it is anything else. I don’t think it’s a huge advantage seeing that data, it only gives you a cue to eat or drink water when you need to” “It’s not all about body type. You can be an athlete and be on the bigger side and not fit into this fitness stereotype. You don’t have to be a certain body type to be a fantastic athlete” “When we are kids boys and girls are basically the same, and then adolescence happens and boys become stronger. However, the endurance side never shifts, and as I got older…I did fine in long-distance runs and I could easily keep going when everybody was falling behind me. That’s when I knew at a young age that I had more ability in endurance sports than short distance” “The inspiration is not only in major sports like Baseball and Basketball. In these other small sports, a lot of kids take their role models from them too, and I think that’s why I had this opportunity in Australia to find role models in sports that I wanted to and I enjoyed” “I never gave up, and there were many times when I could have. I just kept going, and it doesn’t just apply to sports, it applies to everything. Everything is so fast now and they see the here and now and forget about the process. There is a process to everything and good things take time.” Links selected from this episode Ultraman: The Ultraman World Championships is an athletic odyssey of endurance challenges. Covering a total distance of 320 miles (515 kilometres), on the Big Island of Hawaii, it requires that each participant complete a 6.2 mile (10 K) open ocean swim, a 261.4 mile (421 K) bike ride, and a 52.4 mile (84 K) ultra-marathon run, the distances being determined by the size of the Big Island.
