What's up Trainiacs? This is Triathlon Taryn. This is no triathlon Kim, also known as NTK.

In my 20s, I was 215 pounds and I was unhappy working the desk job I was at. Now I'm a 941 Ironman athlete who, with your much appreciated attention, gets to make a living in the sport that I love.

Through this podcast and our ever popular YouTube channel, we bring you triathlon stories, science,

and training from amazing people around the world to help you get to your start lines confident

and your finish lines strong.

And as the resident non-triathlete, I try to keep this show fun and accessible for everybody.

Let's do it.

Today's podcast is brought to you by, as always, our training app, teamtrainiac.com.

And one of the benefits that traineesics get who train with us on teamtrainiiac.com is that they get free gear from sponsors.

Free nutrition items. Can we call them items? I guess items. They would be items. Yep. Compression socks,

which are awesome. And then coming up, Roka is going to be giving away free vouchers to all the

TeamTrainiac.com athletes. So you can go check

that out if you want to cash in on that. A lot of the free stuff helps offset the cost of just

$57 a month to get all of your training, your swim, your bike, your run, your strength all year

round, regardless of what your race schedule is. Now, today's podcast is also brought to you by Roka.

Now, Roka has recently come out with a new wetsuit, the Roka Maverick MX. Who this is for is,

let's say you're a new triathlete and you've gone through your first couple of races

with either doing it no wetsuit or borrowing

a wetsuit or getting like the really, really inexpensive, 80 or $90 wetsuit and you want

a proper triathlon wetsuit, but you aren't ready to commit to that super duper eight, nine,

$1,200 wet suit.

Well, Roka has designed, I think, the wetsuit for you.
