Send us a Text Message.

Some people make it to the 515 distance and still don’t find it to be far enough.  Today’s UltraMX 515 Athlete in Profile, Carlos Pena, is one of those athletes.  After previously completing the Mexican 515 race, he took on the non-stop 515 – two times.  He has also completed triple and quintuple long distance triathlon events.  

Next up for this man is a Deca in Mexico (10 long distance events in 10 days) and a continuous  Deca in Brazil next spring.  

Carlos shares information about his training volume as well as how he adjusts it depending on the event and many other tips about going long.  

UltraMX 515 race director, Van Sanchez, joins me in the second part of the episode for a preview of all of the athletes who will be competing at the event from October 28-30th.

In the third segment, Michelle Echeverria, joins the conversation to talk about the new Ultra 515 Texas that they are introducing to the world in May 2023.  Stay tuned for race updates at https://www.instagram.com/ultratx515/
