Fanta Se Tri Club in T3

For those of you out of the loop, Zentri is moving to Santa Fe, NM!

Things to Do Outdoors in Santa Fe

Outside Magazine Reviews Santa Fe as Top 10 City

Nothing about the show will change. Well, except that we'll be at 7000 feet elevation instead of 300. That and the biking and running culture there is mostly off-road.

We'll be sad to leave our hot and humid Tex-ass, but no fears! Santa Fe is surrounded by 1.5 MILLION acres of national parks that includes mountain peaks, ski valleys, an exploded volcano caldera, and thousands of miles of trails. It shall be good times, good times.

Ok, back to the show. We kick off the episode with a promo for a great bike ride called the Tour de East Bay in San Fran and then play a ton of killer voicemails. Then I take you with me on a bike ride aboard my racing BMC, then Emily and I opening a box from Suunto, and then I take you with me on another bike ride doing 2.5 hours aboard a fixed-gear in the hills around our family farm in East Texas. 2000 feet of climbing on a fixie, yos!

It's a long show packed with classic Zentri goodness. Audio easter eggs appear randomly, so take it with you on a long run or bike an let the sounds soak your tri-brain.

Don't forget, next week is IM Wisconsin! Expect a killer show with lots of stank and crank as I put an entire year's worth of training into effect and attempt to crush Jetpack with my uber-fitness. Who will come out on top?

German Chocolate

Ever wonder what really goes on in an Ironman's training weekend in the peak of the summer? I take you through a typical training session of heat, miles, gatorade, and leaving hate-mails on competitors' phones. I've got audio from call-ins, biking in the Texas sun, and hanging out in the pool parking lot. It's the triathlete lifestyle, unveiled.Shownotes!

Chillin’ at the Disco

The summer heat and Ironman training in full-swing is making people just about lose their minds! Whether it is Jetpack struggling with a workout, triathletes arguing with each other, or my cycling buddy hurling a bike tool at a car, these are all signs that the intensity is getting to some of us.

I have just what you all need. This podcast is cooler than a polar bear wearing a frozen jock strap. I take audio of Emily, Triboomer, Kai and I at the Disco Triathlon in Dallas and lace it with some laid back tunes to help you relax and take this summer training in stride. Don't let the tri-training get you worked up. Throw on some 'phones, lay back in your favorite chair, and tap your toes to some of the chillin' tracks I laid down.
