Hey everyone, welcome to that trathlon life podcast. I'm Erica LaGerstrom. I'm Paula Finlay.

I'm Nick Goldston. And you're here. We're here. This is our triathlon podcast. We, uh,

we, uh, we're three good friends. Paul and I are married. Nick's our third wheel. Hell yeah.

Paul and I are professional, um, triathletes. Paul's a little sick right now if you heard that cough.

And this is probably our last podcast that the three of us will do together before 70.3 worlds in Marbea.

Paul and I are taking off the day after this podcast comes out on Friday.

I think we sound a little bit better than we did last week, Paula, but we're both still dealing with symptoms. I mean, how sick do you feel, feel other than the cough and stuff? Well, last week when we recorded, I was like, oh, I'm going to get over this in one day. I'm determined. Turns out that's not how sickness works. It doesn't care how determined you are.

Is that what you're saying?

Yeah, so I did a hard workout and I kept training.

And then I got this horrible cough.

And now it's just still a horrible cough.

So, yeah, I probably prolonged it a bit by just training through it.

But I feel like dog shit.

How about you?

Well, I feel, I just have the cough and the runny nose around blowing my nose all the time, but my feeling, I've felt good for a while.

But the run workout I just came back from, I could feel like I was coughing in mid intervals, which is not ideal,

of course.

Yeah.

Yikes.

I'm not sick yet.

We're hoping that I have dodged the bullet.

But so far, so far so good.
