This week Lindsay and Mike recap their sprint triathlon podiums from a month earlier. Lindsay hustled her way to a 2nd place at the Women's Triathlon Festival in Folsom and Mike snagged a 3rd place at the Ukiah Triathlon.

In this episode Mike recaps his first full Ironman: Ironman Santa Rosa 2017. This is a reading of his race review previously published on his blog.

Not even an hour after the race, Lindsay and Mike wipe the mud off their hands and face enough to recap Tough Mudder NorCal 2019. Trying something new is a great way to get out of the mental rut of training. Fun times were had. We want you to join our Age Groupies team next year at the Tough Mudder NorCal in October 2020!

In this episode, Mike chats with Melissa Urie, aka "Ranga Mel." Among her many accomplishments in the endurance world, Mel is only the second woman in the world to complete the legendary Epic 5 triathlon in Hawaii, which is 5 Iron-distance triathlons on 5 islands in 5 days. She has completed multiple UltraMan triathlons and is gearing up for Uberman, arguably the most challenging of her races so far.

Lindsay solos this week's episode on her experience with burnout in training and racing. Having put in several years in the endurance scene, she knows the highs, the lows, and cumulative mental fatigue known as burnout.

Today Lindsay goes over the Folsom Women's Triathlon Festival with her good friends Amy and Corrine. They talk about how they got into the sport and what it was like to race and podium the other week. You're gonna enjoy this one.

Mike reads his eBook "Transitions from War: Reconnecting with Mind, Body, and Spirit." In it, he shares the practical, but powerful ways we can all find mental, physical, and spiritual fitness.

Mike shares his favorite ways to help the body recover between workouts, and then leads listeners through a brief meditation to help put the body in recovery mode.
