This week we’re all together in Bend, Oregon recording our 200th podcast episode. For this milestone, we set up the cameras and did something a little different, calling podcast listeners live and letting them ask their most pressing triathlon questions.

More than anything, this episode is a thank you. Thank you for sticking with us over the years, saying hi at races, sending in questions, and sharing the stoke that keeps this podcast going. We’re incredibly grateful for this community and excited to keep building it together.

Here’s to the next 200.

This week the band is back together in Bend, Oregon recording episode 199. We kicked things off with some holiday recaps, talked through a few 2026 goals, played a New Year–themed Shred or Bed, and then dove into listener-submitted questions. This week we discussed:

• Snacks and breakfast ideas for triathletes
• How Eric, Paula, and Nick became friends
• Intentionally training in triathlon race order
• Keeping the excitement alive and not normalizing or downplaying our accomplishments
• The best dry-land exercises for athletes who don’t have access to a pool
• How to nurture a love for triathlon in young children
