Jackson Laundry - 70.3 Worlds Bike Crash & his Road to Recovery, Training Tips & More!

Today’s guest is Canadian Professional Triathlete and fellow Team LPC member, Jackson Laundry. This podcast will be Jacksons second time on the show which is super exciting because Jackson absolutely crushed the 70.3 circuit in 2019, but unfortunately, in the latter stage of the season he got in an accident at the 70.3 worlds which lead him to a fractured collar bone and multiple fractures to his scapula which essentially are the bones that keep your shoulder joint in place. This type of break could be detrimental to someone in our sport who uses their shoulders daily in exercise like swimming. Now I am excited to talk to Jackson today for so many reasons. First off, I wanted to recap his 2019 season as this was his breakthrough season as a 70.3 professional! Secondly, I always know that athletes who find themselves injured or ill and have to step away from the sport to recover have a very hard time coping with the change and I thought that Jackson would be an excellent guy to come on and walk us through his process and I hope this can resonate with some listeners and be the inspiration they need to keep pushing on. In today’s episode we’ll dive into his recovery process, what’s ahead next season, and we’ll also go over Jacksons on-course fueling strategy with First Endurance Canada, a few Zwift training tips, training with a 4iiii Powermeter, and so much more so definitely be sure to clear any distractions around you and soak it in like a sponge! Jackson also gives us a bit of some inside scoop on a new team unfolding within the Hewdog Racing team that is SUPER exciting so definitely be sure to check that out because I think it could be a fantastic new addition to triathlon in North America!
