515 : The Ultra Podcast
S5E7 -- Ohana Guest : Ross Welton 520K Canada Champion 2016
Ross Welton raced the Ultra 520K Canada two times as an athlete – one with greater success than the other. Ross shares how he, and his wife Katie, were both able to stand on top the podium at that race.
These days Ross lives half the year in Mallorca and has been living “the lifestyle” of the island. In the past few years Ross has replaced racing with travelling with friends on ultra cycling trips around Europe with “no point to it”.
This episode has it all for the Ultra athlete – tips and tricks for racing and stories of bucket list adventures.
