Send us a textNot every athlete who challenges the 515 distance has completed 20 Ironmans, or have been winners in their age groups, or are Ultra marathon junkies.  Some just work their way up the distances and prepare to take on the 515 distance with a hope of just finishing.  My guest today, Gloria Aguilera, did not do any of that.  Her first triathlon was the Ultra 355 in Cozumel and now she is my guest as the UltraMX 515 athlete in profile.  She is lucky to have an experienced guide in the form of husband Jose Postigo, a 2 time finisher of UltraMX 515 and 2 time finisher of the UltraMX 515 Non Stop.  He also joins our conversation and shares some of his stories about those races.Gloria brings a great perspective to the 515 personal challenge.  She recognizes her athletic shortcomings and is not out to win it all.  Both her and Jose are in it for the fun, the Ohana, and to live a healthy lifestyle.Steve King shares the background of the UltraMX 515 race director and coach of Gloria, Van Sanchez. Resources mentioned in this episode:Boston MarathonIronman World ChampionshipsUltra 355 Cozumel IM Los Cabos IM CozumelUMUKUltraMX 515 SeriesUltra 355 AustraliaUltra 355 Canada Shout outs and mentions in this episode:Inaki de la ParraDebbie Jones Brian JonesRamiro GutierrezMiguel AguilarMichelle EcheverriaJorge CabreraSamantha PortillaWill Rogers JD Tremblay Chad Bentley (S1E1)Brad Sawa (S1E10)Van Sanchez (S1E6)Fernanda CantuMario EsparzaCarlos PeñaMelissa PeñaDelia LujanMiguel Garcia (S1E6)___________________________________________________________Show Contributors:Host : Larry Ryan Contributing 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: https://www.facebook.com/515TheUltraPodcastInstagram: 515theultrapodcastIf you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes or where you get your pods.   I would like to hear from you and who you think should be interviewed.Email : [email protected] 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]
