So many questions, so many reasons to listen to our
Amazian chat with Dame Lisa Carrington. Enjoy Hey, dad, when
I grow up, I want to be an athlete like
Dame Lisa Carrington.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
No, it's good again a coincidence you say that because
Dame Lisa's with us right now. Thank you so much
for this.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, no, thanks for having me.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
It's very cool. It's very cool that you agreed to
do this.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
It's awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
We're stoked.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah no, I'm just stoked to be here and see
you guys.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
And yeah, between us, I think between us, we've got
like eight gold medals, I think between the three.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Of us, so that's pretty.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
In fact, all of yours Lisa, but always puts in
her on the spot at the start of these things,
like why would you like to be like Dame Lisa, Well.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
You are a kayaking star, You're New Zealand's most successful
Olympian and a role model to thousands of kiwis for
like me.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, and you've got some pretty cool sunglasses as well too.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yes, yeah, yeah, the speed dealers.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, I imagine they're not from the gas station like
a lot of my sunglasses are.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I know, you know, they have a little bit of
performance and they've got to look kind of cool. Yeah,
look cool, very cool.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
When you grew up, I read you said there weren't
as many females sporting roles outside of the Silver Fans
or Sarah Olmer and cycling. How incredible does it feel
to inspire young girls like myself? Are you inspiring young
Malti kids as well?

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
I guess that's the thing I think when I think
about being a sports person and who I and who
I was inspired by, it's so special to think that
maybe I could be that person for you know that
next a young female male and yeah, Malti kids. So
I guess I love to be that person that someone

(03:01):
can look up to. But you know there's also I
don't want to expect people to look up to me either.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
What about like when did you first, because you started
doing surf life saving right as a kid and play
people as well, when did you start sort of peddling
and go, oh, I make sure you good at this
and I love this.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, so you know, good old parents, you know, they
have a perspective. And so my dad took me along
to a kayak camp because he thought it would be
good training for surf life saving. Right, So roughly around sixteen,
I jumped in a kayak just to just to supplement
my surf life saving because that was going pretty well, right,

(03:38):
And so from there, I guess you then hear a
few more things. You're like, okay, you can represent New Zealand,
you can travel overseas, and so from there, I just
I realized that maybe there's more that I could achieve,
and I turned up to a competition, a national competition
for kayaking and placing top three, like, oh, I'm in

(03:59):
consideration for a national team. So I guess you know,
luckily there weren't too many of us when I started,
So yeah, the opportunity to represent New Zealand came along
when I was at last year of high school, and
then from there it's like, wow, okay, this is I
didn't realize you go to the Olympics, and I didn't think.

(04:20):
I didn't start it because I wanted to be an Olympian.
I just started it because it was you know, my
dad had this idea.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, it's kind of we talked like enough to talk
to Eliza McCartney about how shit was just like going
along with a free into a pole vaulting training, you know,
just like I'll give it a go. Probably the same
for you, Like if you hadn't gone to that one camp,
you know, you'd never know how good you could be.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, exactly. And I think it's from there that you've
got to make some really good choices. So there's always
the choice to not turn up or the choice to
Maybe it's a bit hard turning up, but you make
the harder choice. And then from there there's constant crossroads
or things that you could do, but you never know
where they're going to lead to.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah. You also do a lot of journe and you
write your thoughts down each day. How is that helpful?
Should I start writing things down? Like dad wouldn't let
me on my phone today.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
What do you write? Yeah, yeah, journaling it's something, it's
a bit of a routine. It helps me prepare for
the day. I know that planning is really important for me,
so knowing what I'm doing for the day, writing it down,
my thoughts, my intentions.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Do you read back through it.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, I do, especially you know, when I'm leading into
really tough you know, like the Olympics, tough situations, or
just to kind of clear my thoughts, to know, you know,
what's what's real in my mind and what what am
I making up? You know, what are the stories I'm
telling myself. So it's just a really great way for

(05:46):
me to kind of get a grip on, you know,
what's going on, so I can be really clear when
I meet the first person of my day.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
We saw like a clip of you know, your training
and you're journeling, but you're getting up before daylights. You know,
you make the coffee, you're going off the training first
thing in the morning.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
You're doing that.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Pretty much every day of the week for weeks, so
it was like thirteen years you didn't miss a training session.
I think on the clip, the wheel was yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Like, I think that's set too. I think it's kind
of yeah, being healthy, but also if you're not quite
feeling the best, maybe you're a little bit unwell or
under the weather. I could always find a way to
adjust or figure out how I could turn up, but
not over exert myself to a certain level, particularly when
you're in at the level I'm at. Yeah, you kind
of want to make the most of every moment because

(06:33):
that's what it takes. You know, we win by small margins.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Yeah, and the work goes in.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I guess we don't see we see you at the
Olympics or the World Champs, but all that work that
you put.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
In, you know, it doesn't just happen by accident, right, No, No,
that's right. And I think what I look back so
fondly on Paris is as as a team. You know,
we put in a lot of work. You know, there
were plenty of tears and you know, hard times. But
I think that's what makes it so special, is that
not trying to avoid the tough moments, to really lean

(07:03):
into them and when you get to their to the
end point because it will always end. And that's a
sad thing that sport. It's finite. You get to a
point and then it's all over. So I think really
knowing that the game of sport is a game, it's
not life. There is a game of life as well,
So it's really knowing that winning and losing it's not

(07:26):
about who you are. It's not your identity. It's just
something you do. The lessons you learn the are the
things that that determine who you are, not necessarily you
know the result, you know, I like I said, you know,
you said that I've got multiple gold medals, but really
I'm probably more proud of the person that I've become
or becoming.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
You also have a kid's look out called Lisa Carrington
Chases a Channel and dad is Stoke. That's a kid book.
It's not too hard for him. The book is about resilience.
So why do you think kids should learn about resilience?

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, I think when growing up, I think the lessons
that I learned and still learning now are things that
I would love to kind of know and be seen
in the books I read or around the people that
I'm around. So I guess that's kind of my intention
is if you know someone the lessons I've learned, if

(08:24):
I could you know, weave them into you know, young
li s if she was a short tin or however
old you want to be. I think I could say
that you'd been a really great place to then tackle life.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
This is when I grow up.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
We tried to do some peddling.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
I think I got inspired by you and that the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
We tried to do some peddling and after five minutes
and I wasn't going fast. It hurts like it starts.
Your arms are sore. You know, you had a breath
and stuff that. How do you push through in those
moments because I imagine, you know, there's the training and
then you get through the Olympics and then you have
to push through those moments even more. How do you do?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, it's funny because you know we do all the
training just to compete over a minute fifty So it's
probably those aren't the moments that physically are the hardest.
The hardest is in the training. It's more the mental,
the emotional challenge of the Olympics. It's big. It's you
know that that moment is your only moment to perform,

(09:23):
and you've been working how many years for me could
be up to fifteen years to do that one race,
and so I think it's like when I guess when
I'm there, I just you want to be as prepared
as you can be too. For me, it was about
not shying away from training really hard, doing the hard things,

(09:44):
doing all the practice, time trials, all the practice, the
strategies of my race, the physiology, the all and the
gym on the water. So by the time I get
to the to the games, the hardest thing for me
is going, Okay, Lisa, you've got this. Is to believe
that I can and that that's good enough. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Well, with winning comes lots and lots of pressure. We
all feel pressure in life, like for a school exam
or somewhere we want to succeed. What are tips for
dealing with that pressure, like when you get when you're about.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
To compete, interview.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
A podcast.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yes, there's always preparation and understanding that like I mean,
it's actually in my book is like your best has
good enough. So whatever your best is at that moment,
you can't do any more work than it then to
get there and to do it. So I guess it's
knowing that you're enough. You're For me, it was also

(10:39):
about whatever the result is at the end of the day,
I know that I would have tried my best, and
so if I'm really content with that, then I can
go out and do it.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Because you are extremely humble you talk before about you know,
for you, it's not about the middles, it's about you know,
you're more proud of it as a person. You know
that the same video I think we're watching the other day. Head,
I think you've got one of your sports Person of
the Year awards up in your house, no meddles, nothing else.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
I'd be wearing my medals in here.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Now, yeah, you know, yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Has that kind of helped you in some ways? Those
sort of being humble and being yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I think it's like that middle that I won isn't
going to help me do my next race, right, So
I guess when you turn up, you know, every competition
you do, you turn up and you're like, you can't think, oh,
because I've won. You know, I won at the last Olympics,
I won the last World Championships. If I bring all
those accolades, I'm going to definitely win this race. Absolutely not.

(11:35):
You turn up, everyone has a shot at the title.
So I think it's also you know, like everyone's human.
I'm not better than anyone else just because I've done
gone to the Olympics. I've done this, and I think
it really helps me as a person. I think, like
it's not nice to go around having a really big ego. Yeah,
I think, did you expect like I deserve first class?

(11:57):
I deserve this And it's like, well, actually, like we're
all here human, have a bit of perspective and I'd
rather live my life like that.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
As Dame Lisa Carington, what you have to write in
your in your customs form and stuff like that, well.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, depends if I want to upgrade or not.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
You know, so how many times have you actually been
to the Olympics.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I've been to four Olympics? Is the novelty?

Speaker 2 (12:20):
We're off like I've done this before.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Well yeah, like I think I've got to be really careful.
It's that it's just just remember that it is so
hard to get there, and so you know, just making
the New Zealand team is hard enough, and then to
compete on the world stage to qualify for the Olympics
is tough. So I think when you get there, it's like, wow,

(12:44):
I've worked really hard to deserve the spot and now
I get a shot at an Olympic title. So there's
all these steps, and I think it's just remembering when
I get there, it's it's not a given, and remembering
that I just really love peddling. I love being a
sports person. I love doing it with my team and

(13:06):
having you know, great people support us.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
So obviously you love it. So when you're not training,
which is probably very really, do you feel like you
need to go peddling? Is this something you need to do?

Speaker 1 (13:16):
I think I'm so comfortable that I've done so much
peddling and I'm to.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Have And what about the Olympics because we watch it
and you see it on TV and it just looks incredible,
the world's best sports people there that.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I get nervous somehow.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
I mean, it must be just is it surreal to
be part of the village and part of all that?

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, yeah it is.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
And it's like every four years, all these athletes from
all around the world, different sports get to come together
in one place and so there's only you know, you
think about these like a middle these medals given out
multiple times a day, so we were just one sport
out of I don't even sorry. I don't even know
how many sports are, but there is a lot. So

(13:57):
there's lots of medals been given out. So you think,
you're like, this is really special for so many people
from around the world, and this is what you get
to share with them.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
And that moment when the anthem is playing the New
Zealand anthem and you've got the metal, what's that? That
must be just like a surreal moment?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:12):
It is? And I think I constantly am trying to
tell myself it's like, take this in, make sure you
take appreciate it, because this does not happen. And yeah,
like I think I remember standing up there, you know,
with the K four when we won, and I thought,
you know what, how I thought about the girls like Aliciha,
Tara and Olivia. I thought about them like, man, this

(14:34):
is the first time they've done this. I wonder what's
going through the hit How special is it to stand
here with them? The pride that they have and the
pride of their family and friends. So I think that's
that was really special to be out it.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
You know, think, do you think it's sometimes harder to
be an athlete who is a woman. It's quite upsetting
when you see females getting judged for their looks rather
than focusing on their talent.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, I think it being a woman and being in sports,
I think it doesn't help noticing the difference because you can,
I guess you can take any stance of being the
victim or you know what, I'm gonna just be who
I want to be. And then I think the best
thing that we can do for, you know, for females

(15:21):
and in sport is thinking, you know what, I'm strong,
I have muscles, and I'm supporting my teammates and my
fellow competitors. So yeah, I guess that's where society is at.
But also we can change it, you know, we can
make a difference in show and support each other. And yeah,

(15:42):
I do love getting my nails done so and we
thank you.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
This is when I grow up.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Okay, we've got some five kayaking questions, as we're probably
not as knowledgeable. Okay, so these might be dumb questions. Okay,
what's the difference between a canoe and a kayak?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
A canoe? I mean, it depends what country you're from,
but they can kind of mean the same thing. But
we also have as we call them sea boaters, so
they're on their knees and they pedal. So there's two
types of events boats for our sport.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Not a stupid question.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Your nickname is the goat in the boat?

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Do you like that?

Speaker 4 (16:27):
I don't know all time?

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Rather than just the goat with the horns eating tin cans?

Speaker 1 (16:33):
What do you guys think?

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Well, obviously it's say you're great. But at the same time,
I don't know. No one's ever called me a goat
in anything.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's all.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Right, okay, weird, weirdest thing you've seen float past your
boat while you've been peddling?

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Seen a few? Did fish?

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Really?

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:52):
You probably going quite fast too, you probably, well.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, And we're on different parts of the water all
around the world, so yeah, we see drinks, golf balls,
tennis balls.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
So you pedal so well forward? But can you peddle backwards?

Speaker 1 (17:10):
I think there's only one way to pedal, and that's forward.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Okay, it has a duck or a swan.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Has charged across my boat and yeah, and on Lake
Poop where we train in Auckland, we have quite a
few swans and we maybe aggravate them at times. And
I have been picked okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Eliza McCartney said that they travel with poles for polevling.
Do you travel with your boat?

Speaker 1 (17:44):
No, Our boats are separt and they're already were we
we usually compete in Europe at least we're in New Zealand.
Then we put them on our roof. But the things
we do pedal with our pedal travel with are our pedals.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, take them on the plane with you, yeah, we do.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
How do you find that determination? That's not one of
the silly questions, but how do you find that determination
to keep going? Like you say, obviously you love what
you do, you know.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
I think that just knowing that that I can get
better knowing Also, I think it's it's recognizing that trying
to be a learner all the time, and also the
fact that I can support others, especially in a and
sport and potentially an an an individual sport. Giving up

(18:36):
what you think is what makes you better individually to
support others is really cool. So I've found a lot
of growth and I've been given back so much by
supporting my team and in turn getting a lot of support.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Team around you with your husband, your coach and everyone else.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah. Yeah, So it's been incredible. I've learned so much
about myself in the last a few years with them,
and it's kind of it feeds back and I get
more out of myself and I love seeing them thrive.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, okay, before you go, we're gonna do some quick
fire this or that questions texting or calling, ah, texting
in your boat? Would you rather race a dolphin or
a sea turtle.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
I'd think I'll get distracted by the dolphin. I am
so seated.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
You're probably not getting too many dolphins where you're going
out to see anything like that too much.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Crocs or jendles, sandals celebrate in front of crowds with
a victory lap or quiet celebration, Oh, quiet celebration, tech
talk or instagram in the gold medal or breaking a record.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Oh that's really hard because what got me to at
the Olympics or like the.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah we'll got Olympic gold.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Okay, Olympic pizza or burgers burgers. Listening to the sound
of music or the sound of nature, wild paddling nature do.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
You get can you train with like.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah you can?

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Or steer it like a box and speaker in your boat.
But I think I've peddled for so long without any music.
It's yeah, it's nice, it's really nice, but I must say,
and the gym needs to have music.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Opening ceremony or closing ceremony.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
I've never been to an opening, only being to closing.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Because you're basically going to compete too soon.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, so we race on the last week. I raced
on the second to last day, so I'm not even
I wasn't even in Paris when the opening was there,
so I don't know. Maybe an opening because I've never been.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
A team event or an individual event. Oh, team and
winning all those gold medals or on this podcast, well,
I had to win those gold medals to be eligible.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
For those podcasts.
