Is shaving weight off a triathlon bike really worth it, and more!

This week Eric and Paula toughed it out and battled through sickness to make sure we got an episode out in time. We kicked things off with a Swim Sets with Paula, briefly covered the Tour of Flanders, and then moved on to listener-submitted questions. This week we discussed:

• Shaving weight off the bike, only to add four 1-liter bottles in a race
• Our imaginary dream triathlon product
• When the juice is, or isn’t, worth the squeeze in triathlon racing
• How Eric attaches SRAM blips to his bars
• How to act and react when other runners look great on course
• Can breathwork really increase VO₂ max by 10%?
• Do triathlon-specific bike shoes actually make a difference?
• Is it okay to swim only freestyle in a masters class?
• How do you “shake off” a bad race?
