The Lonely Triathlete - triathlon training and motivation for the masses
Todd Sauder
In this podcast I share the trials and tribulations of a middle-aged amateur triathlete. Take me along with you during your workout to hear about my personal experiences of training and racing and get some motivation to utilize for your own workouts. I'm not a coach. I'm not an interviewer. I'm a fellow triathlete! Feel free to reach me with comments or feedback at [email protected]

Water! Bah! Drink 8 glasses a day, don't get dehydrated, look at the colour of your pee, drink with every meal, don't drink too much or you could die. Water, you really let me down this week.

Stop wasting time interacting with strangers on X or Instagram or Reddit or any other social media platform. Invest that time in yourself, in the creation of your own story. Mild interest or limited investment in others' lives is fine but admit it, you've been wasting a lot of time and deep down inside you don't want to continue. It takes intention and focus and effort...but you CAN do it!

A Punch To The Gut

Can You Get Faster In Triathlon As You Age?
The Lonely Triathlete - triathlon training and motivation for the masses
09/06/23 • 9 min
Here is my race re-cap of the Vancouver Triathlon 2023.
The winds were blowing. The waves were crashing. People were refusing to start or being pulled from the ocean after starting. Some were informed that the water temperature was so cold that they HAD to wear a wetsuit. It looked like the toughest Vancouver Triathlon in recent memory. How could I possibly race well?
Let's just say: I'm older...and faster.
I Might Be In Denial

10/06/24 • 7 min
Another season of training is underway! And this time I've decided to take on Ironman 70.3 Victoria (Canada). 1 week into training and some things are working as expected while other parts of my plan just haven't fallen into place yet. But that's OK because it is early i the season and this is the best time to make mistakes, try something new and figure things out.
Triathlon Encouragement

How To Gain Free (sort of) Speed

03/31/25 • 17 min
Many of us want to be as fast as possible in our races. Imagine if someone handed you a voucher that removed minutes from your race time for free (or a small fee)? Many of us would take that deal. Well, turns out that you CAN buy "free" speed.
