515

Kate Bevilaqua has nearly 20 years of professional triathlon experience.  She is the winner of three Ironman races, the women's champion of Ultraman World Championships, and the first woman to win an ultra triathlon outright at Ultra 520K Canada in 2016.

Kate continues to race the pro circuit along with her husband, Guy Crawford.  Together they run GK Endurance, their one-on-one coaching business.  In this episode we discuss her 515 career, her coaching philosophy and her opinions on pro triathlon – present and future.  She also shares some of her pro tips, favourite races and most importantly, some of her mistakes.

Ross Welton raced the Ultra 520K Canada two times as an athlete – one with greater success than the other.  Ross shares how he, and his wife Katie, were both able to stand on top the podium at that race.  

These days Ross lives half the year in Mallorca and has been living “the lifestyle” of the island.  In the past few years Ross has replaced racing with travelling with friends on ultra  cycling trips around Europe with “no point to it”.  

This episode has it all for the Ultra athlete – tips and tricks for racing and stories of bucket list adventures.

Heidi Buttery went from ultra high wealth financial advisor to ultra athlete.  After going through a “mental breakthrough” manic episode she has become interested in helping others who struggle with mental health issues.   In 2014, she raced Ironman to raise funds and awareness for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).  She has become a strong proponent for normalizing talk about mental health and shares her journey during our conversation.  

In 2015, she shifted her nutrition expertise from general knowledge to specialized sports nutrition and now helps others with developing nutritional plans.   

All of these interests reside at her website : UltraHeidi.com.

In this special release I speak with Steve King who was announcing at the event to get the rundown of what happened over the three days in Noosa this year at UM Australia.  I also speak with Shane Duffy to put a final pin in his record breaking six 515 races in a year.  

Each of the champions, Simon Cochrane and Dee Fuller also stop in for a chat about how the race unfolded for each of them.  Simon set a new world record time of 19:48:47 while smashing the previous UM Australia record by over 1:30 minutes.

Today’s Ohana guest, Manmadh Rebba, is a multiple finisher of 515 races and ultramarathons.  His ultra journey has taken him from a company 5k to completing the Moab 240.  In his day job he works as an architect and project management consultant, and he uses that as a metaphor for his new endurance coaching platform - Re-Design Me.  He wants to help athletes, especially Indian athletes, to find the path to live Aloha, Ohana, and Kokua while living a sustainable lifestyle. 

We speak about a number of topics including his volunteer work with Big Brothers and tutoring homeless youths for which he received a Presidential Volunteer Service Award in 2016 from president Barack Obama.

Not every man can hear that he has Multiple Sclerosis and decide that he has become even more special.  My guest in this episode did exactly that.  Rick Kent is not only a 4-time 515 finisher and 5-time RAAM finisher, he is also an accomplished sports photographer. 

Rick shares many tips about racing and what were his favourite events that he has both competed and worked at as a photographer.  From the opening questions about his life in Austin, Texas you will be hooked to listening to his tales.

You can contact Rick through DM on Facebook or at his email address RKent@mac.com and ask him your own questions about RAAM if you are considering the race.
