Texas Man 2007

Emily and I joined Triboomer and the ladies from InTransitDuo for the Texas Man Triathlon held in Irving, Texas. We cover everything at this race! We've got interviews with Jim Hoyt, Dave Scott, Griffen Bikes, and Girls Tri Harder. We've got audio from the bike prepping all the way through to the finish line. Never before have you been able to follow a race so closely! Witness how the race directors deal with lightning and how a type 1 diabetic finishes with no problems. I've got all the gritty details in this podcast, so listen here!

Like a Jog Bra

Sometimes you put others in front of yourself and find great joy in helping out. In this podcast, I pull duty as support vehicle and, like a jog bra, I'm there for my female counterpart as she engages in her athletic endevours. Join us as Kai co-hosts, I learn to love my job, and Emily reaches her limits in the Texas heat.
I'm finding that the show's followers really enjoy the short paragraph and then hyperlinked show notes, so here you go -
