Summary

Kris Pinnow was nearly 375 pounds when he knew something had to change if he wanted to be around for his wife and daughter. He signed up for a weight loss guidance program through a local hospital in Wake Forest, NC, and on a whim, decided on giving triathlon a try with his new lifestyle and mindset. Now, down more than 100 lbs and still going, Kris has raced several triathlons including 70.3 Puerto Rico, and he's signed up for a full IM race later this year.

Today's podcast is brought to you by first off, Roka, who has been the go-to wet suit that I've

used since 2013. And when I started using it, I had previously been using an entry-level

0:12.1

wetsuit. And when I decide to get out of that one $200 kind of wet suit, I went with Roka

whereas Roka's base-level wetsuit is still really flexible, so much so that I get these wetsuits

0:52.4

for free and I still use their entry-level wetsuit when I'm training outside because still really flexible, nice and durable.

1:00.1

I know I'm not going to dirty up and mess up their $900 wetsuit.

So if you are looking for a good Roka wetsuit, so if you're looking for a good wetsuit and not looking to break the bank doing it,

I would highly recommend the Roka comp wet suit.

1:17.6

Comp.

1:19.6

You could get one, Kim.

1:21.6

That would be great if I swam.

1:24.6

Second sponsor is AMP Human Performance.

1:28.5

And I mentioned how I was really, really skeptical about their PR lotion and how I

And then I started looking into the science.
