Triathlon brick runs, Crewing Western States Ultramarathon, and more!

This week, it’s back to business as we dig into your listener submitted questions. But first, we hear about Eric and Paula’s trip to crew for friend of the podcast Heather Jackson at Western States. We also cover some triathlon news, including a bold attempt at a sub 4 minute mile by a female athlete and the action at Ironman Frankfurt.

In the question segment, we discussed:

• Doing brick runs in bib shorts
• Signing up for a 70.3 with budget gear
• Common misconceptions within triathlon
• Bikepacking
• Should you train with elastic laces?
• Disc vs deep wheels for 70.3 World Championships in Marbella
• Sunscreen strategy for racing
