Welcome to the podcast is dedicated to making you a faster cyclist the Ask a cycling coach podcast presented by trainer road

And coach Jonathan Lee with our head coach Chad Timberman. All right, buddy our CEO Nate Pearson

Hello, and a very special guest with us. They free to headman. How you doing Frida?

Very well. Thanks. We're not in our studio. We are in Kona Hawaii and you are one of the world's best triathletes because you qualify for World Championship

So just pretty amazing congratulations

Thank you very much. What's that feel like?

I don't know you make me nervous when you say I'm supposed to be one of the best in the world

Yeah, I mean, it's a lot. Yeah, she's weird. You're not in to be clear. You're not a professional triathlete

But you're here and it's for those that don't know Kona

It's where our Memorial Championships happen and we'll be interviewing athletes every day here from this

But it's it's age group World Championships as well as pro World Championships

So for cyclists, that's a bit different because we usually don't combine pro and amateur

They kind of separate them, but here it's it's they all race on the same day and they have some lottery entrance, but

Frida is not one of them you qualified exactly. Yeah, yeah, she qualified for it

So thanks for coming on here. You're from Sweden

We're gonna get into that and what that means with heat training and all that stuff because it's very hot here and a ton of other things

But first things first how'd you get into triathlon?

So I think like a lot of people actually started with running injuries

You like to train you start running you run more and more but you keep getting injured

And then I had yeah some friends that were doing triathlon and then it seemed like a good choice for me

So that was yeah, how it began would say it's funny because from my perspective

I'm like yeah, I want to stay not injured so I will just not do triathlon
