This week, we dive into the dynamics of co-existing as an athlete couple and the unique realities that come with it. We also tackled a variety of topics, including:

  • Carbon-plated running sandals: they are real.
  • The creative process: What comes first—music or video?
  • Wahoo Kickr maintenance tips
  • If you won $5M, would you retire from triathlon?
  • Shoes that perform well on both pavement and trail in the same run
  • Open water swimming in a cross current: Tips and tricks
  • Should you re-index your rear derailleur when switching to the trainer?
