When to push through a triathlon niggle, longevity in endurance sport, and more!

Nick and Eric are heading to Arizona this weekend to pace Heather Jackson through the final 40 miles of Javelina Jundred, Eric takes miles 60-80, Nick runs her home from 80 to 100 through the night. We preview the plan, talk through what we’re in for, and then get into a full question bag. Team TTL emails are out, Racing Division decisions are coming, and there’s something new dropping on the website.
This week we discussed:
• Nick and Eric are pacing Heather Jackson at Javelina Jundred this weekend, who has the harder shift and what are we actually getting ourselves into
• Race tracking privacy follow-up: a listener reveals how going anonymous on the Ironman tracker was used tactically to hide from competitors chasing a Kona slot
• Team TTL emails are out, Racing Division decisions coming imminently after 180 applications
• Are you a gradual getter-inner or a jump right-inner at the pool?
• What do you attribute to your longevity in endurance sport?
• If you had $200K in prize money, what one chore would you outsource?
• When is a niggle something to push through and when is it time to stop, especially with a race two weeks away and a swollen knee
• Is it distracting watching Breakfast with Bob when you can see his notes, and what actually makes someone great at interviewing?
• If you had no responsibilities and unlimited time, what one sport adventure would you do?
• Do pros pee on the bike during an Ironman, and what’s the ideal number of bathroom breaks?
• Continuous swimming vs. intervals
• Is age group triathlon in the US getting faster ahead of 70.3 Worlds Chattanooga?
• Arm band vs. chest strap heart rate monitors: accuracy, convenience, and what to do when the optical sensor goes rogue
