We are back talking triathlon and all the fun things that go along with it. We check in with how training is going for Kayla and how Erin's work - bike trip went. Then we answer your questions

1. "What’s your most irrational race-day superstition or ritual that you know makes no sense… but you do it anyway?"
2. "Do you think the sport is becoming too optimized? Where’s the line between smart training and over-analysis?"
3. What are our thoughts on AI coaching programs and how does that affect what we are doing? 
4. “What is a race day disaster that still haunts you—or makes you laugh now.”tion 
5. “What’s one piece of gear you secretly love but know is unnecessary?”
6. “What's something you forgot to pack on race day... that you’ll never forget again?”

Cheers!!

Kayla and Erin
