In this episode of the Perfect Flow Podcast I talk with adventure racer and race doctor Tom Reynolds. Tom’s experiences on both sides of endurance and adventure sports gives him a complete perspective on the risks and rewards of pushing our bodies to the limit. Tom has raced multiple Godzones for the team Ataraxia (formally University of Auckland and Cloud Base Nine) and is a race doctor with Ascent Medical, while also practicing as an ED doctor at Whangarei Hospital.
The main topics we cover are:
- Tom’s background in sport
- Typical training for adventure racing
- Some memorable AR experiences
- Infection from Godzone Southland
- Event doctoring:
- Exercise-associated hyponatraemia
- Having a “plan B” nutrition strategy
- The true finish line
- The Revenant
