This week we hear all about Eric’s epic adventure racing the Kodiak 50k Ultramarathon, and all the ways it didn’t go to plan. After that, we got into listener-submitted questions and discussed:

• Did this year’s Kona make Paula want to race Ironman more or less?
• The right bike setup for the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Marbella
• Using a Peloton or old trainer to build winter fitness
• Drivetrain maintenance during a gravel stage race
• What to look for when picking a new TT bike
• How far out to start heat training for a hot race
• Best front hydration solutions

This week we barely had enough time to squeeze in a podcast recording with so much going on. We kicked things off with updates on Eric’s Fireflies Patagonia film, Team TTL sign-ups, Paula’s Junkyard Dogs podcast recording, Nick riding bikes with Jan Frodeno, and even a surprise guest appearance from pro triathlete Jackie Herring — all before diving into Bike Tech with Eric and listener-submitted questions.

This week on the TTL triathlon podcast, we discussed:

• Flared handlebars
• Planning for trail conditions and safety in new places
• Flynn’s favorite post-activity snack
• Bike escorts for leaders in triathlon races
• Swim paddles and how to use them in workouts
• How to handle bad road conditions during a race

This week we catch up on Team TTL updates, congratulate John Reed on his podium finish at WTCS, and hear Paula’s race recap after her win at IRONMAN 70.3 Augusta. After catching up, we dive into listener-submitted questions. This week we discuss:

• Where to place your mind when leading up to a new event
• The fun way to spend $2,000 a year in triathlon
• Remco, and how to deal with emotions when things go wrong during a race
• Optimizing for comfortable sleep
• When to schedule your next IRONMAN if you feel like you didn’t give it your all
