Description

This week we talk Challenge Roth, dive into what it takes to qualify for the Ironman World Championships (both full and half distances) and weigh in on Race Ranger. And that’s all before we even get into your listener-submitted questions. This week we covered:

  • Choosing the right gravel tires
  • Are smart goggles allowed in races?
  • Swimming strokes other than freestyle
  • Is it OK to move someone else's bike in transition?
  • Understanding the emotional highs and lows of long-course racing
  • Can heat really make your tires explode in transition?
  • Random acts of kindness on race day
  • The reality of healthcare for up-and-coming pro triathletes
  • Eric’s potential swimrun future
