Speaker: Yu Hsiao, local professional triathlete


Yu will give a talk that covers the following topics that have helped him the most in the last 10 years of racing. It helped him improve his IM 70.3 time from 4:36 to 4:00:23.

1. fasted workouts
2. working across all intensities
3. having someone look at his swimming and things he learned
4. nutrition, diet, periodized of low carb diet
5. glute activation

Yu calls himself a “pro” triathlete intern since he doesn't make any money from racing. He enjoys racing against the best in the world. As much as he struggles against Jan Frodeno, he does hold the fastest Ironman time for a Taiwanese and Chinese, (rumor possibly all of Asia).

Yu's real job is mechanical design engineer at Broadcom’s opical transceiver division.

Yu is a Taiwanese immigrant, moved to California bay area when he was 12.

When he gets a break from triathlon, he enjoys playing guitar, driving his subie BRZ, going to Muse concerts, and cooking. And most definitely, spending time with his wife.

Yu's PRs:
140.6 8:49:00

13.1 1:10:16
26.2 2:26:05
