| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone. Welcome to that triathlon life podcast. I'm Eric Logstrom. I'm Paul McClainly. I'm Nick |
| 0:05.5 | Goldston. Paul and I are coming to you live yet again from Tucson, Arizona. Nick's at home in Santa Monica. |
| 0:11.4 | Paul and I are both professional triathletes. Nick is a professional musician, great friend of ours, |
| 0:16.7 | mature triathlet. And on this podcast, we fuel it almost entirely off of questions from you, |
| 0:23.9 | the listeners. So thank you so much for keeping this alive. But we do kick off with a little bit of |
| 0:28.7 | funness at the beginning. So buckle up. Here we go. Eric, training in Tucson as a triathlet, |
| 0:35.3 | overrated or underrated? I think it's overrated because |
| 0:38.9 | like it's so highly rated right now. How could it ever live up to the expectation? |
| 0:43.6 | Paula, what do you think? You can't beat the weather in terms of a location. Like the riding is |
| 0:48.9 | meh. I mean, it's fine. It's good. Is it good? Like, because I don't get the sense that it is very good.

| 1:17.4 | worse than you're riding at home. But it does have the great built in Mount Lemon, which is |

| 1:31.1 | They've repaved some of it. |
| 1:32.6 | It's way more interesting than the trainer. |
| 1:34.6 | Okay. |
| 1:35.2 | So anyway, but it's like such a completely perfect, consistent grade. |
| 1:39.6 | It's not like a European like variation in grade. |
| 1:43.0 | It's just like 3% perfectly forever. |
| 1:46.5 | So yes, fantastic training environment. |
| 1:50.0 | It is a little bit challenging to stay like close to Mount Lemon, |
