Podcast - Soul Triathlete
Thursday, August 13, 2009 at 12:09PM 
I take listeners with me on a ride through the Texas countryside and talk about why you really train. Is it to race? Or have you fallen in love with training and don't race that much?
As requested, I also talk about how I dropped weight and got ripped. Ripped is a relative term, but I am 36 years old and weigh exactly the same as when I was captain of my varsity swim team at age 17. Not bad!
Listen in and enjoy the sounds of nature and cars occasionally roaring by. It's good stuff. :)
