Week 20
Elle Purrier St. Pierre is a professional runner, a mom, and a dairy farmer. Weâre not entering a new era where moms can do whatever they set their minds to; weâve BEEN in that era, and Elle is just proving itâs here to stay. Setting multiple American records, topping podiums, and celebrating her 2nd Motherâs Day - Elle can do it all. Read about Elleâs Olympic journey HERE.
In this weekâs email:
AI Swim Goggles: These goggles will âreadâ your swim strokes and provide real-time feedback via a âheads-upâ display in your goggle lens.
TRENDING: Vacation training destination thread to follow on Reddit for your next vacation idea.
Boston Marathon â24: The overpriced Adidas swag of the latest Boston Marathon has officially hit the âshelves.â
đWatch a Cadence-recommended Vid: LCB has been the bridesmaid FAR too many times. Yes - she was crowned World Champion last October in Kona, but even so; sheâs struggled to reign from the top of the podium. Watch the video for her health diagnosis; something that once she getâs in check, we predict sheâll be unstoppable.
Post of the Week (in honor of a belated Motherâs Day):
Race Results of the Week
Tidbits
â Stay Weird, Tri: The United States is the birthplace of triathlon; now that itâs a global sport - Americans take to the international waters to tri out races in other corners of the world. Just because it originated in the U.S, doesnât mean international tris donât take on a flair of their host country. Think nudity & smoke breaks in transition.
â Microdosing: Psilocybin, or âmagic mushroomsâ to our friends out there that were edgy in the 80s, isnât exactly a performance-enhancing drug, but in extremely small (micro) doses, it has positive effects on the mental state of the user; which, in turn, could contribute to improved endurance performances.
â Mt. Whitney Death: The first 2 deaths of the âseasonâ have occurred on Mt. Whitney; 2 climbers were overdue to their camp and were found having succumbed to the harsh spring conditions on the mountain.
â Bikepacking Essay: The Traka Adventure is a gravel/bikepacking race that spans 560 KM and more than 3 days through Girona, Spain. This year - it was cancelled due to bad weather but several riders decided to Full Send anyways.
đBucket List Recs
Big training week behind ya and want to add something to your bucket list? Need something to kick your butt into high gear? Check out our endurance bucket list recs below and sign up for something youâll probably regret when youâre doing a 20 mile training run in August in the Midwest.
Traka Adventure: Yes; we talked about this race being cancelled just above, which is why weâre adding it to your bucket list now. 560 KM, 3 days of riding and more than 7,200m of elevation gain; youâll never see Spain the same after the finish line of this event.
Rock Cobbler: Taking place in Bakersfield, CA - this race has a bit of everything and can be taken as seriously (or not so seriously) as youâd like. Thereâs ball pits to cross, cattle to dodge, and White Claws to down - all in the name of good oleâ fashioned fun.
Performance Of The Week(end): Employee 1.1 of LetsRun.com just broke 15:00 for 5000 for the 1st time at age 36
Who says old people canât be fast?
