ultraman

This episode features Armando Armellini an athlete who has competed at numerous IM events, Epic 5, and 7 Ultraman events since 2016, including 4 consecutive Ultraman’s in 2022.   He is the architect of El Plan (a way to pace 515 distances) and was the first person to attempt to complete all four UM branded races in a single year.

Armando lives Aloha, Ohana, and Kokua.  In his day job as an executive coach he puts these into his practice.  Recently, Armando has been certifying in triathlon coaching and hopes to blend that into his current occupation as a one stop shop for life coaching and athletic coaching.

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.

UM Australia is the focus of this episode.  I have a chat with race director, Jeff Morris, to preview a few of the 45 athletes who are toeing the line in Noosa this weekend.  Like most 515 races, the line up includes some big names with lofty goals like Richard Thompson and his sub 20 challenge, and some people who are just challenging themselves to complete the distance.   We discuss the variety of situations that bring people to take on a 515 event..

My athlete in profile is New Zealand’s Simon Cochrane.  Simon is a pro triathlete with 37 Ironmans on his resume but is taking on the 515 distance for the first time.  He is the owner of Athletic Peak, a coaching and conditioning business which focuses on supporting athletes along their endurance journey.  Building to the lead up of UM Australia, Simon has recently topped the podium in a couple of ultra runs including winning “the claw”, a feat not previously attained at the Blue Lake 24 hour Challenge.

I am joined in this episode by Shane Duffy from Australia as my Athlete in Profile for the 2023 Ultraman Arizona race.  

This is the second episode released this week, as I also do a Race Preview with UMAZ race director, Jen McVeay and the voice of 515 everywhere, Steve King.  Listen to that episode here.

As you will hear in this episode, when Shane starts something new he jumps all in.  A personality trait that has led him to attempt to complete six 515 races in just 12 months.  UMAZ is race number five.   

As a result of our conversation, I took on a role as one of his crew for the race, so watch the 515 Podcast (listed below) socials for updates on our adventure.  And if you are looking for race updates for UMAZ be sure to check out their socials at:

Ultraman Arizona 2023 takes place from March 17 - 19.  I have returning to the podcast, race director, Jen McVeay, and the 515 announcer extraordinaire, Steve King to preview the athletes competing in this year's race. 

It is a smaller field with just 3 women and 19 men, but some great athletes will be vying to set the official race records in their respective age groups and overall, as last year’s race (the inaugural) had to cancel the swim due to poor water conditions.

Join us as we discuss the resumes of these Ultra athletes so you know who to follow through the race socials for updates.

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.

Francesco Magisano is my Ultraman Florida athlete in profile.  At ten months old Francesco was diagnosed with eye cancer and by age 16 things went completely dark with blindness for him.  He found his way to sport through Achilles International, a global adaptive sports and advocacy organization serving people with disabilities.  That has led to him working for Achilles as the director of the New York metro region where he also leads a Saturday run group in Central Park.  

He will be the first blind athlete to attempt Ultraman Florida, but the third blind athlete to compete at a 515 distance race.   Raphael Jamie has previously completed UltraMX 515 and John Domandl was the first, in 2015 at Ultraman Australia.

Brian Hammond, Francesco's coach, also joins the conversation to speak about his role as his guide for the race.   Brian is an alumni of UMFL from 2016 and an experienced crew member who has a long ultra resume to back up his advice.

My two Ohana guests today share a number of ideas that have propelled them to the top of the podium in world events in 2022.  They are both in their 50’s; they both believe in doing more than just swimming, biking and running to stay in shape; and they believe the records they are setting are only there to push other women to break them.

My first guest, Dede Griesbauer, is currently the oldest pro triathlete on the planet at the age of 52.  She smashed the 50 - 59 age group record at the Ultraman World Championship in 2022 where she topped the women’s podium against, what Steve King states is, one of the toughest women's fields to face off on the big island.  Dede proudly coaches in the Julie Dibbens crew and is also a broadcaster for Ironman Live when not training or racing herself. 

The second guest is Yvonne Timewell, amateur triathlete from Penticton, BC, who won the 2022 Ironman World Championship in the 55-59 age group.  Yvonne used the toughness she learned on day 3 of the Ultraman Canada race in 2014 to propel her to multiple podium finishes in Kona over the years. 

Both guests share great stories and tips that will surely entertain and help any athlete.

Today’s guest, JD Tremblay, discovered that his body was able to sustain the trials of an Ironman (without any effects) when he did his first race, with no training, to check it off the bucket list.

This led JD to push the boundaries to see where he would hit the wall.  After competing in two 515 races he jumped at an opportunity to do the Epic5 ten-year-anniversary race – EPIC DECA , where he was the third and final finisher of the event.

Today JD is working on giving back to the tri community with a race for youth in Mexico.  Check out the GoFundMe he has to support this cause which he speaks about in this episode.
Support kids in pursuing their athletic dreams!  https://gofund.me/b56ac89c

JD also speaks about his book Hunger for More in Life, soon to be published at Amazon, which he wrote to share his story and some training tips.  (link to follow when available)

Few Canadians have the ultra running resume of my Ohana guest, Ferg Hawke.  He has raced in Western States, Marathon Des Sables, and Badwater.  In triathlon, he represented Canada at the World Triathlon Championships and has competed in Kona for both the Ironman World Championships and the Ultraman World Championships.

Ferg has challenged all of the big names in Ultra and made friendships along the way.  He has compelling stories about his adventures and the people who have shared them.  As a top performer in the sport he also gives great insights into training and volume.

Now age 65, he has slowed the pace a little but the outdoor adventures continue and he still has another Chuckanut 50 on the horizon.
