Hi, everyone. Welcome to that triathlon life podcast. I'm Eric Loggerstrom. I'm Paula Finley. I'm Nick Goldstone.

Paul and I are finally back home recording this on our normal nice microphones. I apologize if the

to stick a camera and a knife in there and cut it up and put it back into place and sew it.

And I am on a six to nine month journey now of coming back to biking and running.
