Welcome to the podcast one and all.

We are talking about something every athlete does, or at least what every athlete should do.

The warm up.

Before you dive into that main set or hammer out intervals, the warm-up is what preps your body to perform and

helps you get the most out of your training. But how much does it really matter? Do we always

need to warm up? And how do those warm-ups change for swimming, biking, and running? I'm Vanessa,

your average triathlet with elite level enthusiasm. And helping us decode all of that

today are two of our amazing and fun tridoc coaches, Brady Hoover and Brandy Ramirez, both with

experience that spans years. And they always help athletes get ready to train strong and achieve their goals.

As usual, we will start things off with our warm-up question, head into the main set, and then

wind things down with a cool-down, where one of these fabulous coaches will answer a question

from one of our listeners.

Lots of good stuff.

Let's get to it.

This is the Tridot podcast, the triathlon show that brings you world-class coaching with every

conversation. Let's get started with today's warm up. Here we are on the warm up, and I think that it is super fun to start the warm up podcast

with my favorite part of the podcast, which is the warm up question.

So today, what I want to know is if your warm up had a theme song, what would it be?

Brandy, let's go to you first.

Well, it's funny that you say that, Vanessa, because I'm not going to create a theme song.

I actually have a theme song for my warmups.

It's a song that I found a long time ago and not necessarily even a song.
