Season 2 Episode 2 – AmateursKevin kicks off this episode with a race recap. Do you remember him talking about having an upcoming race? No? Oh, he didn’t bother to mention it. Pete’s recap includes some good workouts and how Regain (not a sponsor) is working as his electrolyte drink. He quickly pivots to an existential crisis when it comes to nature. He also rants against the new visa requirements coming in Brazil. Makes total sense for this podcast. There is a lively discussion in the #WTFNYT
