In today's episode, host Chris Newport sits down with Coach Carlie, who is a also working on her PhD in Sports Psychology. We "nerded out" on some recent research regarding first time 70.3 triathletes.

The article she chose was published in 2021 in the International Journal of Exercise Science called "Psychological status during and after the preparation of long-distance triathlon event in amateur athletes."
