Hello, everyone. Welcome to That Triathlon Life podcast. I am Paula Finley. I'm Eric Loggerstrom.

No, you're not.

Eric's not here this week. This is really weird. This is our first time doing the podcast with just the two of us.

That's right. Do you think it's going to be awkward? I think it's going to be awesome, but I'm still going to miss Sweetie.

I mean, we all bring a very special dynamic to this, and his is, it's intangible. I can't even describe it. It's true. It's true. We will manage. And I do think that putting one out with just the two of us, Nick, is better than not at all. Oh, for sure. Just the girls this week. No, it makes it more stressful for me as I can't just like dink around on my phone for a couple minutes while you guys carry the conversation.

Correct.

I got to be 100% engaged 100% of the time. I'm so sorry. It's okay. It's okay. It's probably good for me. Yeah. Okay. So who are you? Who am I? What are we doing here? Oh yeah, I have to intro it too. That's also Eric's job usually. Right. Okay, me and Eric, who is away, we are both professional triathletes.

Eric is also a filmmaker, adventure runner, adventure biker, and he's down in Patagonia, Chile right now with Ian Boswell and a big group of people for a big ride.

I think he should tell everyone more about it when he gets back

because I don't think I could do it justice explaining what exactly he's doing,

since I don't know, but he's making a film about it.

So he's tired.

He's not getting a ton of sleeve.

He had nightmare travel to get there, but he made it.

And I'm just kind of sporadically

following his fine friends when he has service to make sure he's still moving. That's good.

I haven't been checking on him, actually. I just assume he didn't have service. No, he's had service

like at least every evening. So that's been good to know he's alive. Right., my co-host. Yep. I guess are we both co-hosts of each other? We're all co-hosts. Yeah, we're all co-hosts. You're a professional musician, amateur triathlete, and if you're new here, welcome. Thank you, everyone. This is not normal. This is not normal. Normally, there's three of us.

But we're going to make it fun. We're going to make a real fun today. So speaking of fun, you did a four-hour trainer ride yesterday, didn't you? Speaking of fun, yeah. I don't know. I was kind of into it. I was like, I'm going to do three to four hours. and after two hours,

I had a quick phone call that I was excited about. And then I just had another two hours. So I don't know if I really quick. You also called me in the middle there. That's not the phone call you're referring to. No, I called you to tell you about the phone call that I had. Yeah, yeah, right. So yeah, I had about a 20-minute break in the middle, but it really broke it up nicely, and I just took the first hour super chill, got one on my phone, cut up on messages, and then before I knew it, it was over. Actually, what I was watching is the Zwift Academy. There's a, on GCN, um, does anyone know about this? It's like they chose four women and four men,

based on Zwift data and power numbers to come and try out for Canyon Stram for the women.

And what's the men's team? I don't remember. I only know Canyon Stram because I'm more invested
