Hey, everyone, welcome to that triathlon life podcast. I'm Eric Loggerstrom. I'm Paula Finlay. I'm Nick Goldston. We'll just get this straight out of the way. Paula's throat is feeling a little sore today. She came down with a little bit of a sniffle. So she may be quiet. She may be falling asleep. But Nick and I are going to carry the load on this one just in case her voice gives out partway through. And also Nick has a stuff he knows.

Yeah, don't worry.

I'm also sick. Nick and I are going to carry the load on this one just in case her voice gives out part

way through. And also Nick has a stuff he knows. Yeah, don't worry. I'm also sick. I guess you're

going to be listening to me monologue for the next 57 minutes. If you're new here, Paul and I are both

professional athletes. Nick's professional musician, amateur athlete, and we just, we enjoy

chatting with each other, talking about triathlon things and answering questions that people

send into us. So if you do that, thank you so much. And if you haven't done that, get right on it.

This is the time. The time is now. No better time than now.

The best time to plant a tree was 40 years ago.

The second best time is right now.

I do like that.

That reminds me of a thing that I saw, like, when, a meme, like, when you wake up and realize that in 1995, you should have been buying a house instead of being born.

Yeah. Instead of learning how to ride a bicycle. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. But yeah, I don't actually know what all we have going on in the show for today, but nobody's raced, so we don't have any race-recaps to get out of the way, but life is good. Life is so good. I'm in the off-season. I know that, I don't know if Eric, you are on the cusp, but not quite there. And, Paula, you are, you are really not quite there. But I'm having, I'm having fun. I'm doing fun things at this point. Yeah. I'm not quite there, yeah. since I didn't quite have the race that I wanted at Kodiak a couple weeks ago,

I think I am going to do Pacific Trails, 50K, which is a new race that UTMB just announced a couple months ago.

That's in about another month.

But the biggest thing that's coming up, like no question is Paul's race in 70.3 worlds. So she is definitely still in it.

Peak time is now. And we're kind of putting the final icing we, as in her, on the cake,

before we fly to Marbea in a week and a half.

Oh my gosh. That is crazy. That is so soon, man.

Yeah. It's going to be a fun trip.

You have to decide if you're going to come with us, Nick. It's up to you because my bags are packed. I'm ready to go. Yeah, I think the, here is your itinerary. It just needs to show up in Nick's inbox. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm down, you know. I just had such a good time in Spain when I was there by myself. I'm
