0:00.0	Hey everyone. Welcome to that triathlon life podcast. I'm Erica Lacher. I'm Paula Fenlight. I'm Nick Goldston.
0:07.3	And this is our, our triathlon podcast, which is the spoken arm of our triathlon existence.
0:14.6	That trathlon life, we've got a YouTube channel. We have a very cool community that we've built over the years.
0:20.5	And we're psyched to be here and talk to you about multi-sport and all the stuff that we enjoy inside of it.
0:26.4	Paul and I both professional triathletes. Nick is a professional musician, amateur triathlet, and I think the three of us teaming up together can cover a lot of the different perspectives and things that you might be interested in the sport.

1:37.4	like off season and stuff, but they really try to cap it. So it's not surprising. Yeah, it's like us when we
