0:00.0	Hey, everyone. Welcome to that triathlon life podcast. I'm Eric Loggerstrom. I'm Paula Finlay.
0:06.0	I'm Nick Goldston. This is a little bit of an interesting lineup for us. Nick and I are sharing a mic looking across at Paula.
0:14.4	And Nick is up in town for a couple of reasons. He came up for my birthday party, which took place over last weekend.
0:22.4	Finally 21. And also to pick up a brand new camera that we've been collectively
0:28.5	drooling over since it's released. So it's been a fun weekend. We were in the fog. There was a lot of
0:36.0	fog involved, which was very conducive to the camera.
0:39.4	Yeah, it was super moody vibes. We went out to the coast, which is one of my favorite places for my birthday.
0:45.9	And while it's 92 or 95 degrees Fahrenheit here in Bend, it was 55 at the coast and we were literally in a cloud.
0:55.8	Straight up chilly. So it was a nice respite from the heat and unfortunately we're now
1:01.8	back in Bend and smoke season has officially begun. Paul, I don't want to out you here,
1:06.7	but you confessed to me earlier that you have a guilty pleasure a little bit with the smoke in the
1:11.7	summer because it makes it so that it's not as oppressively hot. Yeah, I mean, I would rather know
1:17.9	smoke, of course. But the one nice thing about the smoke is it shelters the sun. It's like a cloud,
1:24.5	so you don't get as hot. But it's still horrible because you can't be
1:28.3	outside anyway. Yeah. So yeah, there's a really bad fire in Madras and it just happens to be
1:33.0	blowing straight into Bend, which is kind of typical of smoke season. Bend tends to get
1:38.9	smoke that just sits here. So, but we can escape to the coast anytime, which is really nice as an option,
1:47.1	because it really never gets smoky out there. We can also head to Portland. Basically,
1:51.8	the Cascade Mountain Range is kind of the dividing line of where the smoke tends to not blow
1:57.1	across, I guess. My folks live in Portland or just outside of Portland on the other side
2:01.3	of the mountain range. So we got a couple of options. But you guys both ran inside today, right?
2:08.2	Yeah, Paula ran inside and I kind of hung out and waited for the treadmills be available.
