Traathlon is the ultimate balance in act. You've got three disciplines and you can't put full focus into all three at once. I think it's really important to have periods of time where, okay, in this period of time, I'm really going to focus on my cycling and see how much I can lift that up. That doesn't mean you don't swim and run, but you're not so focused on them. You kind of have the baseline amount that you want to hit on those two disciplines and then you spend the time really working on your cycling and seeing how much you can lift that. In triathlon, the bike is the biggest part of the day. Arguably, it's possibly the most important. If you're super fit and strong on the bike, the run's going to take less out of you. It's about breaking it down. Hey everyone, I'm Jeremy Powers.

Welcome back to the Woot Podcast.

Today, we're sitting down with the big champion in the world of triathlon.

We're here with Lucy Charles Barclay, former elite swimmer, who turned her attention to

her incredible whoop data. So, Lucy, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me.

I'm really excited to be here today. So one of the things we do on the Whoop podcast is some ice

some ice breakers, some fast questions. So this is a serious, serious business. So on this, you can only answer yes or no or true

or false. Okay. All right. So first question is very whoop related. So your average daily

whoop strain is nearly 60% higher than your peers. True or false? I want to say true.

This is true. Yes. Of course. 18.3 strain versus an average of 9.8 for...

Wow.

It's pretty big.

I have to be honest, I was really impressed by the 18.3.

This kind of blew my mind to be totally honest, but let's keep going.

So true or false, your resting heart rate is 63 BPM,

which is the average for women your age. I think false. That is, you're also right, Ding. Yours is

39BPM resting heart rate, which is 46% lower than your peers. All right, true or false, you average less sleep per
