On Today's Crushing Iron Podcast we welcome Age Grouper Jaime Lopez. He talks about his entry into the sport, his obsession with YouTube swim videos, and walks us through his first painful 70.3 in Muncie. Then he shares how he cut a full hour off his time, including nearly 20 minutes in the swim, on the same course. And You Must hear the story of his pre-Ironman Louisville breakfast. We can't imagine anything worse, but his perseverance that day is something we can all learn from, including using cough drops for his run nutrition.
We love to share good stories of people who have decided to change their lives for the better and show us how far they've come since they got into the sport. We hope you enjoy it too... guys and girls just like us trying to be the best we can be. Enjoy!

We just finished our first C26 Triathlon Camp and it fueled a lively discussion about training, racing, and living life to the fullest. We cover a lot of ground including how we're training for Ironman Louisville, but the overall theme of this podcast is how to train and race in ways that keep you healthy and happy. We talk about building and adapting your philosophies surrounding how you train and who you train with. Here are some bullet points from today's podcast:
- running hills vs. flats
- bike trainer vs riding on the roads
- training in a group vs flying solo
- how to prevent your body from collapsing into a walk (on the run)
- It’s not how to go the fastest, it’s how to slow down the least
- Easing your way into the sport despite what your friends want you to do
- How to learn more about yourself off the course than on by reshaping your perspective.
- Why healthy and happy is the most important part of triathlon
- Can you smile when your crank falls off?
- Getting rid of excuses
- Committing to Consistency
- More Camps on the way
- Getting Clear with Fixing Your Swim
