515 Podcast | Ultraman Mexico female winner María Margarita Tascón González

Описание: A mom, a middle school teacher, and a medieval historian walks into Ultraman Mexico and leaves as the first women’s champion of the inaugural race—while insisting the real victory was finishing together. María Margarita Tascón González joins us from California to share how she balanced ambition with restraint, setting modest daily cutoffs, listening to her body, and trusting a crew she met days before the start.

We unpack the full arc of her journey: qualifying for Kona, tackling Marathon des Sables and Patagonman, and finally answering the magnetic pull of Ultraman. Maria explains why Mexico became the perfect stepping stone toward Hawaii—how Van Sanchez replied within minutes, the crew he assembled for her, and an extraordinary safety net that included local and national police escorts on both bike and run. She offers a lucid snapshot of the course, including the sting-in-the-tail climbs late on the bike, and paints Zacatecas as a living stage with street performances and the finish of the Carrera Panamericana energizing race week.

The heart of the story is Ohana. Maria recounts a moment when an athlete shattered his bike and shoulder, another handed over his spare without hesitation, and a disqualification followed. Both still returned the next morning to cheer everyone onward. That ethic—help first, accept the rules, show up anyway—anchors her belief that placements matter less than the people you become along the way. We also talk coaching wisdom and recovery, with her mentor urging patience before Ultraman Hawaii. Maria agrees to wait, not from doubt, but out of respect for the training and the island she plans to “listen to” when circumnavigating Kona.

Come for split times and course insights; stay for practical endurance strategy, travel notes from Zacatecas, and a masterclass in community. If stories of grit, gratitude, and generously shared momentum lift your training, hit play, subscribe, and leave a review to tell us what moment moved you most.
