But we do it and we have a fun season but then, by the end, we are DONE! Rinse and repeat. So, how do we get off that merry-go-round? Support the show

2025/12/15

Send us a text In this episode I muse about the cons of being an aging triathlete. Was this brought on because of my low back pain? You bet. Sigh. Note: in this episode neat the beginning I reference only being able to hold my Threshold power for 20 minutes, I meant 1 hour. We all should theoretically be able to cycle at FTP for 1 hour.
