Triathlon racing wheel depth, night sweats, power meter necessity, and more!

That Triathlon Life Podcast

This week, Eric is in South America shooting a film, so Paula and Nick take on the challenge of a two-person episode. We kick things off with some current events, a round of Swim Sets with Paula, and a brand-new segment, How Hard Can It Be, before diving into your listener questions.

This week, we discuss:

  • Hot flashes unrelated to menopause
  • Reducing sugar intake while still fueling training
  • How pros get their country’s flag at the finish line
  • Using a trainer to prepare for a hilly race
  • The role of technical race officials
  • Racing for one country while living in another
  • Ideal wheel depth for racing and training
  • Coordinating training with other athletes
  • Adjusting training and racing with a newborn
  • Whether a power meter is necessary for a first race
  • Wearing Ironman apparel without having done one
