Luke Creger is a recent winner of the Waco Ironman 70.3 and previously won at North Carolina as well. Before Triathlon, Luke was strictly a runner. Learn how Luke went from running a more casual 3-5 miles per day while pursuing weight loss goals, to becoming a competitive triathlete eligible to go pro in the sport.

Luke is not only an exceptional athlete but an integral member of the community. We were excited to sit down and talk with Luke about all things Triathlon, growing up and making the trek to Michigan for college, and brokering watches.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did and best of luck to Luke on his journey to hit Olympic Trial Qualifying Times for the Marathon.

Chelsea Wolfe is a BMX Freestyle Athlete who was ranked Top 5 in the world leading into the World Championships in 2023. She suddenly got news overnight that she could no longer compete under new UCI legislation that extended to the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Chelsea's entire life was turned upside down in an instant after having based her financial livelihood and the bulk of her existence around competing internationally in freestyle BMX when she was informed she'd no longer be able to compete in the sport she loved so much.

Chelsea talks us through that experience, what it was like to re-evaluate her whole life's work, her relationship with the bike, competition, and herself and ultimately has great insight into approaching topics from a HUMAN perspective.

This was such an insightful conversation. Chelsea is a fantastic competitor and we're excited to see her back out and competing in the world of fixed gear racing.

We hope that you give this one a full listen and enjoy the conversation and Chelsea's perspective as much as we did.

This week we got to sit down with an absolute legend in the fixed gear cycling space, James Grady. James is the founder of Mission Crit that was a popular fixed gear criterium race in San Francisco that drew crowds of thousands before the pandemic in 2020.

After that, James went on to lead the Red Bull Bay Climb and Red Bull Short Circuit. This event was highly successful and was proof of concept that cycling fans around the world are looking for something engaging, action packed, and spectator friendly.

In this episode we talked about when James found his love for bikes, how that developed over time, and how he eventually become a community leader and dedicated cycling event organizer. James and his wife Clare are now the co-founders of Formula Fixed. This series aims to grow larger than ever before and bring cycling to stadiums worldwide.

We are super excited to bring you this exclusive chat with James (and Clare) Grady and we hope that you all enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
