The Triathlon Age Group Journey

The Triathlon Age Group Journey

Jillian Carlson, Jay Cougnet, Matt Sommer

As triathletes, we love watching and racing with the pros. However, what they do is not always possible for us. This podcast is for age group triathletes that want to be part of a conversation on being the best triathlete they can be with their time, talent, resources, and level of effort. Being age group triathletes, coaches, parents, and full-time working professionals, your hosts, Jillian Carlson, Jay Cougnet and Matt Sommer will be your guide on this adventure. Each podcast, we will discuss topics pertinent to you with other age group triathletes of varying capabilities in order to have some fun and hopefully share some insights that might make your training and racing just a little bit better! We all have something to learn and share while on the journey of our individual triathlon adventures!

Matt and Jillian were a dynamic duo hosting the podcast this week because Jay was their guest to talk about his journey creating a new Fastest Known Time route called, "Johnny's Route to Heaven." If you are a regular listener to this podcast, you will already know much of the background of this story. However, regulars and new listeners will get a full recap of the route attempt and the story behind the fundraiser for The ALS Association. We hope you are encouraged to tackle any fears you might have to take on an adventure that is just one or two steps beyond what you think is possible!

We hope you enjoy hearing about Cary's journey that includes 10 full distance, 20 half distance, and dozens and dozens of Olympic and sprint races. She is quite an ambassador for the sport we love!
