Full Ironman fears, 32 inch wheels, triathlon heat training, and more!

This week we almost didn’t manage to record a podcast between travel, family visits, birthday celebrations, and Eric leaving at 5 a.m. to film Heather Jackson at Unbound XL, but skipping wasn’t an option. So instead, we went full rapid-fire mode and packed in as many listener-submitted questions as possible. We also talked fast helmets, Escape From Alcatraz, questionable podcast comments, and the latest TTL merch drop. This week we discussed:
• Aero vs ventilation for Xterra helmets
• Balancing triathlon obsession with actually being present in life
• 32 inch wheels
• Revisiting old races vs constantly chasing new challenges
• Returning to fitness after forced time completely off training
• Which part of a full ironman scares the most
• Heat training vs convenience
• Best tires for Xterra North American Championships in Pelham
• Finishing a 70.3 swim while doggy paddling
• Cycling group ride warmup and when it's ok to attack
• Heart rate monitor locations for women
• What to do when someone tries to talk to you mid swim set
