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,

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

and your finish lines strong.

And as the resident non-triathlet, I try to keep

this show fun and accessible for everybody. Let's do it. Today's podcast is brought to you by two

of our favorite sponsors ever in the history of the world. Of sponsors. Of sponsors. Of sponsors.

Roka. Our faves, Roka, I have been rocking Roka for a really long time. I just got

a new backpack. It's a giant backpack. It's a huge backpack. It's their transition backpack. I really

like it because the thing that sold me, I can hold two water bottles on each side. It's meant for

transitions, but I use my backpack as a

Merse. I use it as a Merse. I take it to the pool. It's my pool bag. I take it traveling. It's my

carry-on. It's my- It's your Merce. I don't know why you laugh. It is literally your- It is my

everything that is in there. It's my life in there.

And it's like, it's thick.

It's really well designed.

There's lots of pockets.

I can twirl in it.

It's great.

But backpacks aren't for everyone.

Here is what's for everyone.
