In this BONUS Mack Cyclist episode we head to the University of Miami with Executive Director of Communications and Mack Cyclist Ambassador Meredith Camel. When Meredith is not overseeing the marketing communication teams over at the U, she whips up a storm of healthy vegetables for her and her wife, Merrill Camel, paired with her favorite off-the-bike beverage: Vino!  Meredith was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome while attending college in Miami, FL, at the University of Miami.

Meredith seeks new ways and routes to live an active, long, and healthy life. It was not until fairly recently that Meredith found cycling a healthy way to work through symptoms and achieve distances and physical accomplishments she only dreamed of while living with chronic fatigue syndrome for decades.  Meredith's positive energy she found while disconnecting from the ‘geometrical world we all stare at day in and day out’ transcends here in our conversation.

A Why We Tri Podcast Production EP27: Living Out Her 'Father's List' & Aligning with Her Own Why in Life  Laura Carney Have you ever lost someone you wish you could have one more conversation with? To ask them their thoughts, their dreams, and what is on their Bucket List? My next guest Zooms in from Montclair, NJ: Laura Carney. She is an author, magazine journalist, copy editor, activist and plant-based athlete, and a daughter who endured the tragic loss of her father at the age of 25. Her father was tragically taken when a distracted 17year old driver hit her father's car. After his sudden passing, Laura and her brother find a Bucket List her Dad wrote in 1978, the year Laura was born. Laura shares her quest to check items off of her 'Father's List' just before she was adding a new role to her life resume: Wife. Tune in to listen how her quest takes her on a journey towards running races, open water swimming, long distance cycling events and soon, an Ironman. Laura has since completed many items on her 'Father's List' and documents her adventures on her blog: My Father's List.  Laura is currently turning her quest into a book. In my Magic 8 Ball I see a movie/documentary in Laura's future. As a special nod to my mom and Laura's dad, both second or third generation Irish, I wanted to get this up on St. Patrick's Day.  Our parents never met here on earth, but we are both certain they are watching over us as we converse and carry on their legacies.

Reflect: EP25: Bill Christy, CEO of Challenge North America Conversational Pace Convo with Bill Christy reminded me of how most of our world crisis in history that lead to the great technological innovations and advances in history. We are witnessing this here and now, not only with Covid Vaccines, but in Triathlon, as well. Bill opens up and shares his personal introduction to the World of Triathlon. He reveals how endurance sports, NASCAR, the Challenge-Family Corporation , PTO (Professional Triathlon Organization ) and the active support from his beautiful family has all played an important roll in changing Triathlon as we know it. Triathlon has not been the greatest spectators sport. Nor has it been the most supportive sport in regards to the pros. Finally, here in the US it has lacked a festival energy that Bill guarantees for every level of age group athlete. Homework: Acknowledge - Your Circle: Draw a Circle. Place who keeps showing up for you and cheering for you inside your Circle. Those who do not or have not place on the outside of your Circle. That's it. No need to do anything. Just Acknowledge!

Just write them down and Acknowledge them. Tune in to the Next Zone 1 to see what we will do with these! Next Episode: EP27: Laura Carney Have you ever lost someone you wish you could have one more conversation with? To ask them their thoughts, their dreams, and maybe what would be on their Bucket List? My next guest, an author, magazine journalist, copy editor, activist and plant-based athlete, endured the tragic loss of her father when she was 25 years old. Upon finding a list her father wrote on the year she was born, we soon learn Laura's deeper connection with her Dad's message and how she set out to complete each item and while documenting her journey on her blog called: My Father's List. Which is set to come out as a book, and in my opinion, a movie at a date TBD. As a special nod to my mom and Laura's dad, both second or third generation Irish, I will release this episode on St. Patrick's Day. Our parents never met here on earth, but we are both certain they are watching over us as we converse and carry on their legacies.

A Why We Tri Production EP25: Evolving Triathlon: Conversational Pace with Bill Christy, CEO of Challenge North America It's a brisk March Monday morning here in Miami, FL. Bill Christy, CEO of Challenge North America, a triathlete at heart, graciously Zoomed in from his Daytona International Speedway Office with his Favorite Morning Beverage in hand, to share his Why in Tri-athlon. We are just 4 days out from Challenge-Family's inaugural event: Challenge Miami Triathlon. This historical triathlon festival is set to take place in Miami's very own Homestead-Miami Speedway. Only 35 minutes from Miami International Airport, making it a top Triathlon Triathlon Destination for years to come. Bill opens up and shares his personal introduction to the World of Triathlon. He reveals how endurance sports, NASCAR, the Challenge-Family Corporation , PTO (Professional Triathlon Organization ) and the active support from his beautiful family has all played an important roll in changing Triathlon as we know it. Triathlon has not been the greatest spectators sport. Nor has it been the most supportive sport in regards to the pros. Finally, here in the US it has lacked a festival energy that Bill guarantees for every level of age group athlete. Live Streaming of Challenge Daytona results, as well as televised production results, proved the idea that was once a dream, was in fact more than just a dream. The numbers from Challenge Daytona were so convincing, NBC recently informed Bill and the entire Challenge Family, they are in for a few years to come. We are witnessing history in the making of how dreams are born, dreams are created, dreams are invested in, cultivated and how dreams are driven into existence. NASCAR, a past time that is just about as American as Apple Pie, has happily opened it's doors to Challenge-Family, and the PTO (Professional Triathlon Organization). This holds great hope for pro-triathletes that have, for years been capitalized on for their accomplishments. This transformation in triathlon will unite a strong bond between pro-triathletes and their fans, as NASCAR has done for years between Race Car Driver and their dedicated fan following. I am excited to say, this is all just a dap of "tobassco" hot sauce in what Bill Christy and the Challenge-Family have planned for here in North America.
