0:00.0	Hey, everyone. Welcome to that triathlon life podcast. We are coming to you from our hotel room in St. George to do our post-race, I say our, to do Paula and Nick's post-race recap from St. George 7.3.
0:12.4	Your name is? My name is Eric Loggerstrom. I'm Paula Finley. I'm Nick Goldstone.
0:18.8	And we are going to do our race recaps, but we are also going to do
0:21.9	Eric's elbow recap. Because I know a lot of you're curious, we've been posting a little bit about
0:27.0	Eric in a sling at the ER. So we've had an eventful week, but it is all wrapped up. We are all
0:34.5	getting ready to drive our separate ways to go back home. But these
0:38.5	pods are always better when we are in person and when the events are fresh in our minds. So here
0:43.9	we go. Eric, what happened? I guess if you're new here, this is our triathlon podcast. And normally
0:53.0	we like kind of keep the show going with a lot of questions from people.
0:56.8	But a lot of people have written in and said, please do more and longer race recaps.
1:01.8	So if you're new here, like I said, a lot of times we just hand over information that we've gathered over the years,
1:06.7	but this is going to be pretty focused on what went down in the race. Prior to the race, I had my own little adventure.
1:14.5	I was sort of doing some behind the scenes of St. George,
1:17.8	how I was thinking of it in my mind.
1:19.0	I was like trying to go and trail run and mountain bike on some of the trails around town
1:22.5	that I've always seen on the map but never been able to
1:24.4	because we're focused on racing.
1:26.8	And I was going after a
1:28.7	k-o-m on a mountain bike trail while running pretty excited and it was pretty gnarly trail and
1:36.0	i and i tripped as one does one-to-one is trail running but if you've ever seen a trail or run on a
1:40.6	trail in utah the trail is rock it's like running on boulders that are concrete, and I came down really hard on my elbow. I finished the segment, and I got back to the car, and it felt it was wildly painful, but I've never broken a bone before, so I wasn't sure what that really felt like. Over the course of the night, it's massively seized up, locked up on me.
2:01.6	I can barely move it now.
