This episode has a number of past guests rejoining the podcast to discuss the 2024 Ultraman World Championships. First up are two of the four people who were inducted into the Ultraman Hall of Fame at this year's Thanksgiving breakfast. Gary Wang, who is a 20 time consecutive UMWC finisher, and Steve King (the voice of Ultraman).

I also check in with the two winners of the event. The men’s champion, Juan Bautista Castilla Arroyo, AKA Ultra Chamba, and the overall/women’s champion, Jen Annett.

Happy Thanksgiving USA!

When Thanksgiving rolls around 515 athletes know that it is time for the Ultraman World Championships.

In this episode I speak with two athletes who will be competing in this year’s race.

Mark Moody is an EMT from Bellevue Washington who holds the 60+ age group record at Ultraman Canada. He has crewed numerous times at 515 races around the world and is now ready for his own adventure on the island. He doesn’t take things too seriously when at these events, except for trying to win the Kokua award.

Keri Mandell is a yoga entrepreneur who has raced at both UM Arizona and UM Florida (completing the McVeay double). She has competed in ultramarathons up to 100 miles and completed the World Marathon Challenge. These events have inspired her to write a book based on the experiences. If you are interested in attending one of Keri’s yoga retreats – check out her website : https://empoweryoganj.com/

Jen Annett drops by to speak about her recent record setting 515 race in Canada and preparations to take on the Ultraman World Championships at the end of the month.

Jen has not had the best luck when racing as a pro at the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, but this time she has the backing of her entire community and she is ready for the challenge.
