  • Pushing the Limits: The Story of Alex Torres and His Iron Man Journey

    Pushing the Limits: The Story of Alex Torres and His Iron Man Journey
    2023/02/08

    Alex Torres, an Ironman Triathlete, shares his journey of overcoming challenges and realizing his potential to become an Ironman. Alex started his athletic journey as the "runt of the Torres family," but through hard work and determination, he proved everyone wrong and accomplished his goal of becoming an Ironman.

    One of the key pieces of advice that Alex shares is to never forget your "why." This is what will keep you motivated and inspired during the long and tedious moments of training. He also emphasizes that discipline and perseverance are essential in becoming an Ironman, but these qualities are anchored on your "why."

    Another important point that Alex mentions is that you don't have to have the most expensive equipment to participate in a triathlon. He was once embarrassed by his lack of fancy gear, but he was reminded that it's all about the "engine," meaning the person themselves.

    To sum it up, becoming an Ironman is achievable if you have the physical capability, financial means, and most importantly, the determination and commitment to see it through. Find your "why," stay committed, and never let anyone tell you that you can't do it. The choice is yours to cross that finish line and hear your name being called as an Ironman.

     

    Episode Highlights:

    • Alex has completed multiple Iron Man races

    • Dreams of writing a book

    • Apologizes to younger self for past hurts

    • Believes everything is possible with effort

    • Encourages listeners to find their "why" and stay committed

    • Iron Man requires grit, determination, perseverance and discipline

    • Success depends on aligning all elements with your "why"

    • You have the choice to cross the finish line, whatever the distance

  • Team Culberson Shows Us That Health and Fitness Can Be A Fun Family Affair

    Team Culberson Shows Us That Health and Fitness Can Be A Fun Family Affair
    2023/02/01
    This episode features two athletes sharing their journeys, successes, and challenges. This mother-and-son duo in sports always finds a way to support each other!  Dr. Petriece  Culberson started her fitness journey while serving in the US Army. Her son Jullien “Jules” CulbersonJules was  exposed to sports even while in the womb. He was pushed in a stroller as his mom ran with her mom group.  Dr Culberson attributes her time in the armed forces and participating in sports in making her disciplined and driven. She uses this drive in competition, pushing herself to be the best she can be.  Jules has always played sports: basketball, football, soccer were his major sports when he was younger. Unfortunately an injury ended his football career in middle school.. He did not let his injury deter him. Taking an unfamiliar path, Jullien tried out for and made his high school swim team, and completed in his first triathlon at school. Recognizing the significant underrepresentation in the swim community, Jullien also accepted a position to give swim lessons to young children, making a personal commitment to ensure that African-American children were well trained in basic swim techniques.   Dr. Petriece  Culberson decided to compete in a triathlon and  her son joined her. Team Culberson was formed and their first event was an indoor triathlon together .Jules continued to accompany mom to her races  and it sparked a desire in him to do more and in Spring 2022 they completed a half distance 70.3 together.  Together,  triathlons  have created a stronger bond between this mother and son duo— they are truly an inspiration and prove that triathlon is a sport for all ages and that fitness can be a fun family affair.    Episode Highlights:   Dr. Culberson start in fitnessDr. Culberson first endurance race experience and what she learned from it Jules started in fitness The injury that could have ended Jules fitness journey Jules pivot to become a swimmerJules role in sharing his gift with the next generation Dr. Culberson first triathlon after she resumed the sportJules training for his first 70.3 Half distance TriathlonTeam Culberson  Journey to complete Ironman North Carolina 70.3 as a Duo Guest Bios: Dr. Petriece Culberson At her first duty station, she joined a proud group of service men and women in her unit who exceeded the maximum points required to earn the infamous Army Badge for Physical Fitness Excellence. Her love for health and fitness resulted in a nomination and selection by her leadership to attend a newly developed health and fitness program for the US Army. Following extensive physical and academic training, Petriece earned the title of Master Fitness Trainer for the US Army. Throughout her military career, Petriece taught physical fitness training and oversaw Army Physical Fitness Testing at numerous military bases stateside, abroad, and while deployed. While stationed in Turkey, in support of Operation Northern Watch, Petriece completed her first half marathon at the age of 27. She was humbled by the experience and quickly realized that although she could run two-miles for the military fitness test effortlessly, 13.1 miles was hard, really hard. This humbling experience was the beginning of her distance running journey. Following her retirement, Petriece decided that she would not run again for a very long time. She was tired. She quickly realized that she missed running. She missed the time alone with her thoughts and the physical results that running produced. Petriece gradually returned to running and walking short distances (5k/10K). In 2010, less than two years after her retirement, Petriece tragically lost her mother. In search of holistic methods to help her manage grief and depression, Petriece turned to meditation and running. Running became her outlet, driving her to complete over 50 half marathons, a few marathons, 50k, and 50M distances within a few years. She found peace, solitude, and healing in her running journey. In 2017, Petriece re-entered the world of triathlon. It would be over 20 years since her first triathlon. She was a mediocre swimmer but had enough skills to prevent drowning. Her son, who was the Co-Captain of his high school swim team at the time, joined her. She recalls being lapped by her son while she walked the laps. At the time she could not swim 25 yards without holding on the lane line ropes. With determination, training, and support from her son, Petriece went on to complete numerous local sprint and olympic triathlons, often making the podium. Her new-found love for triathlons led her to successful completion of the Ironman 70.3 distance and Ironman 140.6 distance within two years of her return to triathlon. Most recently, Petriece completed Ironman North Carolina 70.3 with her son, Jullien.This was the highlight of her triathlon journey. The best proud mom moment ever! While she admits that age and injury have impacted her ability to be ...
