  • Ep.47-Josh Hageman
    Ep.47-Josh Hageman Kelly: Welcome to the Triathlete Hour. I'm Kelly O'Mara, your host and editor in chief of ​ Triathlete Magazine. Now this week, we have an interesting show with a regular age grouper who happened to do something not so regular. Josh Hagerman is an ex-Marine who started riding on Zwift before it was cool, started collecting Zwift badges and finding ways to motivate himself. Now he's collected every Zwift badge out there. At least, he thinks he has. It's a bit of a treasure hunt. He spends a lot of time also trying to find out about new ones online. So if you know of a secret Zwift badge he's missing, let us know. We also think he may be the first person to have done this, but again, hard to know for sure. Josh talks to us about his tips for staying motivated, juggling kids and training, creating your own challenges in real life that are just as crazy, and his marshmallow business. All of that after this short break. -- All right. This week, we're talking to Josh Hageman. I think I said that, right? Who has all of the Zwift badges. That's why I read about you on Slowtwitch. I didn't know you could get all the Zwift badges, but Josh then when I started like Googling you, you're an ex-Marine, you have a modeling portfolio...you own a marshmallow company. I was like, who IS this guy? So I feel like we have to start with the first question.
