Have you ever looked back at a day in your life, and said "WOW - I Can't Believe I did That!"? In this podcast series, listen to QT2 athletes tell the stories of how they achieved goals that they once never dreamed possible.
Season 2, Episode 5 features QT2 athlete Isaac Ou, coached by Anne. On December 31, 2021, Isaac registered for IRONMAN Arizona. At the time, he was just twenty years old. He had never participated in a triathlon. He didn't know how to swim. He didn't own a bike. Less than eleven months later, Isaac crossed the finish line of his first IRONMAN in a respectable 13:01. In 2023, he started working with Coach Anne Basso, racing both IRONMAN Lake Placid and IRONMAN Arizona that year. Isaac bettered his time at IRONMAN Arizona by a whopping two hours!
For the 2024 season, he set his sights higher and longer. His GREATEST MOMENT was completing the Starvation Extreme Triathlon in August. This race presents challenges from beginning to end with a largely self supported 2.4 mile dark swim, a 100 mile bike with 9754 feet of elevation gain, and a 25.3 mile run with 7,543 feet of elevation gain. Only 34 participants finished the race that year. 55 did not start or did not finish. Listen to Isaac tell his story of the day, and how he crossed the finish line of one of the most challenging triathlons out there.
Isaac capped off his 2024 season the following month with the Double ANVIL ultra triathlon (4.8 mile swim, 224 mile bike, 52.4 mile run). For 2025, he is registered for the Quintuple ANVIL (12 mile swim, 560 mile bike, 131 mile run)!
Isaac was obese growing up, and is clinically diagnosed with autism and OCD. He believes that his his brain is wired to complete extreme endurance events. Now fitter than the vast majority of people will ever be, he has found his home in the ultra triathlon community, and is continually exploring and pushing to places he never imagined. His story has just begun.
