Thursday, November 20, 2025 • Duration 49:33

🎙️ Episode 4 — Ash vs. ULTRAMAN: 10K Swim, 420K Ride, 84K Run

Scotty and Ash break down Ash’s latest plunge into the deep end: ULTRAMAN.
Across three brutal days he takes on a 10 km swim, 420 km on the bike, and a double marathon (84 km) — and somehow still finds time to talk shoes and crack a cold one.

In this episode:

Why Ultraman? The moment Ash decided a normal Ironman wasn’t spicy enough.
Day-by-day game plan:
- Day 1 — 10K swim + 140K ride: pacing, fueling, staying calm when the water gets messy.
- Day 2 — 280K ride: headwinds, headspace, and what to eat when nothing sounds good.
- Day 3 — 84K run: managing fatigue, mindset switches, and keeping the wheels on.
Gear & shoes: Rotations for epic volume, how stability and stack matter when your legs are cooked, and the “one pair” Ash won’t leave home without.
Nutrition & hydration: What actually worked, what backfired, and simple rules that scale from long runs to ultra-distance.
Recovery & aftermath: Sleep, soreness, ice, and the first beer back.
Community & cause: The support crew, how to follow along, and why these challenges are bigger than just a finish time.
