Send us a textIt has been 3 long years since the Ohana has had the opportunity to have a family reunion on the big island at the Ultraman World Championships.  Sheryl and Dave Cobb are happy to be hosting 40 athletes from 15 countries at this race once again.  Sheryl gives us the roster of athletes and Steve King joins us to share his insights and statistical knowledge of a field that he says may be the strongest that he has seen compete at a single race.  There are plenty of stories to be played out between those who are there to complete and those who are there to compete -- especially in the women's field.   These include,  an athlete looking to be the oldest woman to finish an Ultraman event at age 67, an athlete looking to win her 5th World Championship at 5 different distances, an athlete who is competing in their 20th consecutive World Championship, and an athlete looking to go sub 20 hours.Resources mentioned in this episode:Ultraman World Championships Ironman World Championships Ironman 70.3 World ChampionshipsUltraMx 515 UltraMx 515 Non-StopEpic 5Ultraman FloridaUltraman CanadaEpic DecaChallenged Athletes FoundationBadwater 135Ultra Tri Sweden 615UB 515Israman Ultra Israel  Shout outs and mentions in this episode:Sheryl Cobb / Dave Cobb (S2E6)Steve King (S1E1 E2 E3)Van Sanchez (S1E6) (S3E9)Diane Anderson (Athlete)Dan JensenYonnatan Alejandro Rivas Venegas (Athlete)Carlos GalvisJD Tremblay (Athlete)Steven Keller (Athlete) (S2E10) Richard Thompson (Athlete)Kiel Omerod (Athlete)Pheng Lor (Athlete)Ryan Rinear (Athlete)Barry Berg (Athlete) (S1E9) Rob Gray (Athlete)Asparuh Borisov (Athlete)Sebastien Lefebvre (Athlete)Brad Sawa (S1E10)Jeremy Couch (Athlete)Rodrigo Vasconcellos (Athlete)Acyr da Luz (Athlete)Jon Greyell (Athlete)Randy Latza (Athlete)Shane Mascarin (Athlete) (S2E4)Eiko Hibino (S1E5)Makoto Hoshino (S1E2)Bob Babbitt - BabbittvilleHeidi BabbittJen McVeay  (S2E8)Shane Duffy (Athlete)Miguel Madrid Lopez (Athlete)Ariel Gorga (Athlete)Ismael FrancoAlessandro Medeiros  (Athlete)Armando Armellini (Athlete)Olov Berg (Athlete) Juan Craveri (Athlete) (S1E5)Luis Hernando De Arriba (Athlete)Michael Morrissey (Athlete)Brian Fredley (Athlete)Sarah McLartyGary Wang (Athlete) (S2E6)Howie Nordström (Athlete)Adam Grant (Athlete)Antonina Reznikov (Athlete) Leanda Cave (Athlete) (S1E8)Amy Robitaille (S3E6)Jamie Harris (Athlete)  (S2E11)Karen Woodward (Athlete)Meredith Terranova (Athlete)Dede GriSupport the showShow Contributors:Host : Larry RyanContributing Raconteur : Steve KingAnnouncer : Mary Jo DionneProduction : 5Five EnterprisesMusic : Run by 331 For show notes and past guests, please visit the Podcast Website: https://515theultrapodcast.buzzsprout.comFacebook: @515TheUltraPodcastInsta : @515theultrapodcastYoutube : @515TheUltraPodcastEmail : [email protected]
