Ben shares a breakdown of how much Challenge Almeere is costing us, as well as how much a dream Hawaii race would cost. 

When is the right time to upgrade / buy new gear?

Who would buy speed (the actual drug) to get faster!?

This week we look at what factors go into picking a race, and explain how they ended up with Ironman Westfriesland and Challenge Almere. Ben sets a PB in his new running shoes which look... interesting. Rosie, our fluffy friend shows off her new squeaky toy. Hold on tight, it's a mad one.

We also speak about the power of accountability and how our WA group helps this - feel free to join it here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/ILJ5vwE07r5EoEcOs95SfH

PLUS - there will be a BONUS EP with more generic tips for picking a tri! (there was far too much chaos to fit it all into this ep!)

You've met 'the crazy gang', but how experienced are these amateurs?

In this episode Ben and Alex demonstrate their superb maths skills, the siblings try make father Brian say penny farthing without him knowing and we discuss our history of triathlons.

Meet the amateurs; the Grandad (Papa woo), the Dad (Ben), and Alex (just Alex - it will make sense soon). I'm your host, Rebecca, and this podcast is all about why these amateurs tri, and their journey to long distance triathlons.
