Hey everyone, welcome to that triathlon life podcast. I'm Eric Loggerstrom. I'm Paula Finley. I'm Nick Goldston. Paul and I are both professional athletes, Nick, and we're sick. Nick is, I don't know if you're deleting all of our coughs out of this or not Nick, but what I did last time is I took them out of the main mic that they're coughed into, but you can still hear it on the other person's mic. Just so people know like, oh, we're really sick. Yes, but it's not coughing into someone's brain. Yeah, if you can't hear it through Paul is stuffed up, nose. Yeah, we're both professional athletes. Nick is a professional musician, amateur triathlet, just lover of the sport.

He's one of those guys who are like, what are you doing this?

There was a question about it this week that we can all three of us dive into about is the juice worth the squeeze?

The juice is pretty good right now.

The weather is fantastic.

We've just been loving being outside.

I recently had hip surgery, if you haven't been following along. And I got to go out on a couple of outdoor bike rides this week. It felt incredible. I don't know. I'm in a great mood. And Paula, you are hard at work at creating a swim set for us. Is that right? Yeah, I'm doing a swim set on the whiteboard. On the whiteboard

was like seven colors. To doodle with a swim set. Is this for everyone? Everyone's going to get to

enjoy this. Yeah. Awesome. Well, we'll post the picture of the set on the app. I got to say,

I am doing a very exciting thing right now. I'm building up a new TT bike. It's occupying

a lot of my brain power right now to like condense this down a little bit. Basically,

like three years ago, we got a shiv disc in the mail. And it said on the box. So this is like

the classic shiv triathlon bike with the wing reservoir and the whole thing. It's disc brakes. And it said black on the box. So this is like the classic Shiv triathlon bike with the wing reservoir and the whole thing its disc brakes. And it said black on the box. And we already had a black one. So we left it in the attic and we didn't build it up. And I've kind of been fantasizing. Like black is lame. Yeah, I don't know. Leave it in the box. We just, like Paula's ridden the same Shiv TT bike as her practice, whatever, her training

bike for like the last four years now, and she just keeps getting new race bikes.

So if you have the same color, it feels a little bit weird to build it up.

But I go to pull it out of the box because I kind of want to do some TT bike things this

year.

I have a fantasy of doing another traflon, TBD, which one, but go to pull it

out of the box and it is not black. Drama. It's not an all black. It is like this most

incredible, beautiful red that fades to black and I'm obsessed with it. Um, so I'm going full send on

like making this bike pretty trick,

getting some special little bits and parts for it and stuff.
