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 -

What to bring with you if you are bike support.

San Diego, the Triathlon Dreamscape

Hey there, all you triathlon homies! I just got back from a week in Triathlon Mecca; San Diego. I compiled a ton of audio and published a podcast about my adventures, which I'm sure you'll enjoy. Below are my shownotes so you can have a quick guide to the topics covered:

Interview with Jdub - I sit down with fellow Triscooper Jdub and we chat for half an hour over beer about all things triathlon. Includes great perspectives on being a pro triathlete, how to deal with significant others, Xterra racing, and how to split up bar tabs.

Swimming in the Pro Lane - Jdub takes me to experience the main ingredient of being a pro-level swimmer: San Diego triathlon swim practice at the North County YMCA. I dish on what I thought of the practice and how I survived.

Industry news - Boeing is taking all our carbon fiber!

Music - Pendulum Swings by the Toasters. This is Ska Music, a true San Diego tradition! Procured from Music.podshow.com
How to Succeed in Evil - This is a great audio book in podcast format available from Podiobooks.com. It's free and there's lots more titles available.

Cool method to keep your swim workouts handy while in the pool - Check out this getup I rigged for Huck's swim

practices. Somebody needs to invent water bottles you can slide papers into.

I also request of you a momentary pause to honor the passing of my iRiver. So functional, yet such a POS. This is the little board of circuits that I recorded so many shows on and now it's dead. We'll miss you, you infernal silicone crap molding. Ebay, here I come!

San Diego Preview

I'm lucky enough that every summer I get to travel to San Diego for a
week. Every time, my priorities change. Since this is a business trip,
the first priority is always being at a conference, but after that,
"Sunny D" has more to offer than anywhere else.

Two years ago, I was alone and tried to get in as much surfing as
physically possible. I think I still have the salt rash. Last year,
the wife and kid came along, so they took priority over surfing. I also
ran more and Huck and I swam in the open ocean.

This year, I'm not even bringing a surfboard, but I still have very high
hopes for what might be a defining moment in my life: I am on course to
swim with the best collective group of athletes with which I've ever shared a pool.

Triscoop.com member Jdub is meeting up with me after I arrive and after
we have some celebratory beer and tacos, we will discuss the time and
date where I can waltz into the North County YMCA and pay a measly $5 to
join the world's top pros for their workout. I have to say that I'm
very excited and I've been preparing for several weeks. Lifting
weights, long workouts, and doing sprint workouts with the local
badasses are all part of my prep to not be slaughtered and left for dead
in the Rehab Lane.

Aside from that workout, my mission is to interview Jdub about his
goals in triathlon (this dude is pro material), swim in the ocean again,
and do some gym climbing, and work on my show and website.

Strange how things change but stay the same...

Injured (Bray to tha Ho)

Quick Show Notes -

Capped off with very young female listener talking in Finnish. W00t!

Next week: I will be in San Diego chilling with jdub and attempting to swim with pro triathletes and survive their practice. I've been training for it!
