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

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
