Episode 566 - Ironman Lake Placid-Gate
Saturday, July 19, 2014 at 12:57PM
I interview @Pay10Deep, who started a fundraiser to pay 7th place more any prize money at Ironman Lake Placid. He and @_Dark_Mark and @TheRealStarky are promoting it to point out that people want Ironman to pay the pros more and deeper into the finishing ranks. I agree!
Slowtwitch.com thread with drama here.
In the rest of the show, I cover the latest triathlon news and go to San Diego for work and training. BTW, Scott introduced a new superbike, called the Plasma 5.
On the flight to Cali, I tried to help this Buddhist monk figure out his ticket, but he was having none of it. I got the cold shoulder twice!
(I don't care how much Karma is in that bag, it's not fitting in the overhead.)
Morgan and I went paddle boarding in this lagoon. Here is a video of me falling off. Like a pro.
You can hear him asking me at the end if I know how to swim. That's an inside joke since we've BOTH swam across Lake Tahoe (22 miles). Dork.
In the picture below, you can see how people ride jetskis in a circle. The waves make balancing on a board a little tough for sure. Somehow, that doesn't seem worth the $50 per hour.
The rest of the trip was typical san diego. I tried sporting my beachwear to the software conference. I thought it went over really well.
I also cover how to use hill training to improve your overall triathlon performance. Tune in!
