Kerry-Lee Gockel, "The Wingless Warrior" - on being "not armed... but still dangerous" and thriving in long-distance open water swimming

Season 2 · Episode 58

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 • Duration 01:21:15

Episode 58! Today's conversation is with the incredibly motivated, inspiring and humorous, Brisbane based endurance open water swimmer, born without arms, Kerry-Lee Gockel.

We cover a whole raft of topics based around Kerry-Lee's journey into swimming and in the past five years or so, long-distance ocean swimming events, including:

Kerry-Lee's birth story; being born - unexpectedly - without arms; and the sanctuary and support her family have provided over the years
Kerry-Lee's journey from self-proclaimed "the least sporty child" to a highly accomplished swimmer as an adult - initially as a competitor in the pool, before entering her first open water swim in 2004
The logistics and ins and outs of taking on mammoth 10KM++ ocean swims including training; fuelling and teamwork, "getting into cruising altitude", along with adaptations Kerry-Lee makes as a "wingless warrior" in ocean swells
Kerry-Lee's experience of the Island Charity Swim from Mudjimba to Moolooolaba on the Sunshine Coast and the connections she and her team have fostered with the Sunshine Coast Special Schools as a result.
Kerry-Lee's very positive experience of community through open water swimming and how anyone curious about open water swimming can give it a try
Holidaying with her husband Paul (also a swimmer and former Australian Paralympian) "Ocean Swim Safaris" across the world
Kerry-Lee's goals and vision for the future, increasing mileage even further!

We recorded this prior to Kerry-Lee taking on the Swim Around Keppel - a 20KM swim, as a team (and in future plans, solo!)

Be sure to say hi to Kerry-Lee on Instagram @thewinglesswarrior

Natalie Reutter - ultra distance trail runner and K9 Urban Search and Rescue handler on running far and adventuring with dogs

Episode 45

Sunday, December 17, 2023 • Duration 01:10:20

Episode 45!

Today's episode is a great conversation with German, Gold Coast Hinterland based, Natalie Reutter.

Natalie and Kristen met through their joint love of handling and hiding from dogs, at the Queensland K9 Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) group.

A concreter by day, as you'll hear in the episode, Natalie loves an endurance challenge and has completed enormous trail runs and races, including the 200 mile "Delerious West" in WA.

We could have covered an entire episode on ultra distance running, however today's focus is one for the dog lovers as we chat in depth about Natalie's experience training and adventuring with her two kelpies - Lucy and Wilbur.

If you're curious about what it means to be a dog handler at USAR, or the ins and outs of adventuring with your trail dog, this is the episode for you! While we're pretty restricted in Queensland when it comes to adventures with dogs, Natalie has completed the 100 mile Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, over four days, with her kelpie Lucy, and shares the experience and learnings with us.

To see more of Natalie's adventures with the kelpies, you can find her on Instagram at @lucylovesadventures_

April Drage on "April's Holiday" Bikepacking the 4000+KM Tour Divide Grand Depart on her Curve XS Big Kev, "Miles"

Episode 41

Sunday, August 6, 2023 • Duration 01:09:44

Episode 41!

Today's episode is a cracking conversation with Melbourne based, April Drage. April recently returned from taking part in the grand depart of the iconic Tour Divide - a 4000KM+ mountain bike route stretching from Banff, Alberta, Canada to the New Mexico border at Antelope Wells. April completed the route on "Miles" her Curve Cycling, XS Big Kev. If you're interested in a different perspective on the route, on Episode 12 we talked to Toby Lukins about riding the same route, outside of the grand depart, on a bike he made of wood.

We barely scratched the surface in this hour long chat, but a few of the discussions you can look forward to - all accompanied by April's genuine and infectious enthusiasm for riding bikes and her witty storytelling:

hearing about April's origin story and how she came to love riding bikes - and after years as a social worker, now even working in the bike industry for Curve Cycling
Using bikepacking as a means to work through emotions and explore herself, including riding significant bikepacking races and routes including Race to the Rock, Rhino Run, Kudlila Rally, Karnu Rally, Mallee Blast 1000, Munda Biddi and many Mawsons!
becoming a Curve ambassador in 2021 and truly integrating herself in the bike/bikepacking community
Riding Tour Divide 2023 and "finding the sweetspot between enjoyment and efficiency"
Racing versus adventure and "April's holiday" riding through nights and completing the route in a seriously competitive time at just over 18 days (or just under 19 - in April's words!)
The awesome women's field - albeit low representation still; a hugely significant representation in the top 30 - and how taking part in niche activities means you have alot in common with fellow riders
The iconic Brush Mountain Lodge experience!
Solo versus shared adventures - and bikepacking with kids
plus April trains (commuting with pumpkins on her bike), including a shout out to Alice Marsh at @mtb_bods ....
