Hey everyone, welcome to that triathlon life podcast.

I'm Eric Loggerstrom.

I'm Paula Finley.

I'm Nick Goldstone.

We got a great show for you tonight.

I just like how all the late night shows, that's what they say.

That's really like the way that kicks off into the whole thing.

But welcome to our triathlon related podcast.

I am a professional athlete, Paul is a professional athlete. Nick is an amateur,

a athlete, professional musician. And the bulk of this show is made up by us answering questions from people who send them into us.

So if that is you, thank you so much. And we hope that if you're listening, especially if you're listening for the first time, you get something out of this.

Welcome to the show.

We had so many questions this week, Nick.

I went through it all for at least an hour today, reading all of them.

Any straight up just compliments, singing your praises?

A lot of the time the compliments are intertwined with the question, which I'm sure you know.

Yes, they're baked in. It's their way to sneak their question in. And you know what? I'm not going to say it doesn't work. Sometimes it works. Sometimes we'll leave that out. Getting buttered up. So you guys are not in Bend right now. Where are you? We're in the place where all triathletes seem to go in the winter and that's Tucson, Arizona. Do you feel like that's a deserved title that Tucson gets of this triathlon mecca, winter trathlon mecca? I think Paula said it well. It's where all the triathletes seem to go. I don't know if I would call it a trath on Mecca,

but it definitely works.

It's got consistently good winter,

you know, temperatures and sunshine and stuff.

That's the draw, is the weather.

I mean, the bike path system is amazing.
