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,

0:28.5

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

0:34.2

and your finish lines strong.

0:36.2

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

0:41.6

Let's do it.

0:43.1

Today's podcast is brought to you by two sponsors, Roka, our pals at Roka, wetsuits, sunglasses,
