San Diego, the Triathlon Dreamscape
Monday, August 14, 2006 at 10:03PM 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!

Excellent show! Very interesting to hear how Jdub discovered his running ability "late".
Brett: I see you were smoked by The Fantoo Girls, whatever they might be. The other podcast I voted for - Phedippidations - got wasted by Sex is Fun. I think I get the message as far as pod cast awards are concerned. Love the show man, first podcast I ever downloaded. Inspirational.
