As the year draws to a close, the Sturm sisters are in very different headspaces. Hannah is all-in on reflecting on 2025 and looking ahead to the possibilities of the New Year, while Sarah is still pissed off that it rained on Christmas. She’s also pretty sure that 2025 was a failure for her on most fronts. In this episode, they pick through the wreckage of the past 12 months, argue over whether it’s more motivating to believe in yourself or fear failure, and answer a listener's question about imposter syndrome. First though, Hannah wants to dig into the very NSFW HBO show ‘Heated Rivalry,’ and Sarah wants to highlight a very impressive ride from fellow Rapha rider Cam Jones. If only she could remember what zones are.

It’s festive season, and while many of us might be celebrating Christmas or Hanukkah, Hannah was gathered around a fire with 40 other people singing very earnestly about the solstice. Sarah has been thinking about venison, Alex Honnold, and a high-profile retirement from a young cyclist. Later, both sisters answer listener questions about sock length, zones, books, snacks, and crit racing.

Sarah and Hannah are on their own again this week and they’re feeling nostalgic about the time Hannah ate dog food as a kid and that one year when they got laundry baskets for Hanukkah. Sarah also had a birthday this week which brings up some old grievances about being a December baby. Plus, they talk about the Tetris game of finding and maintaining sponsors as a gravel privateer.

When Iz King found out she was pregnant a year ago, she was in the middle of contract negotiations for another season as a pro gravel privateer. Throughout her pregnancy and the birth of her now three-month-old daughter, she navigated the opportunities and challenges posed by being one of the first prominent athletes in this niche of the sport to go through the experience. 

Iz joins Sarah and Hannah to share some real talk about what this past year has been like, from deciding when to tell her sponsors, to her choice to keep racing throughout her pregnancy, to the gnarly details of labor, recovery, and figuring out how to be a parent for the first time.

The day after Thanksgiving, Sarah and Hannah sat down with their mom, Margie (you might know her from the Spotify comments section), to set the record straight on various points of sibling rivalry, ask questions about her life as an artist and teacher, and talk over each other. Hannah is hormonal, Sarah is unpacking some rage issues, and Margie has an unconventional way of telling stories.

The Sturm sisters got down to business this week by going to the bank, and not surprisingly, hilarity ensued (at least for them). Sarah has also been taking full advantage of the off-season by getting back into mountain biking, and the results have been alarming enough that she’s pretty sure she needs glasses. Hannah has some book recommendations, a very NSFW Facebook Marketplace find, and some harsh feedback regarding Sarah’s recent appearance on a different podcast. 

In more serious territory, they discuss contract season, especially the grey area around female pros who become pregnant while on WorldTour teams and as privateers. Shoutout to bowling, the guy at the bank, functional sports bras, Sarah’s nail tech, and saying LOL.

The Sturm sisters are back together in the studio this week and they have a lot to talk about. First up is the 2026 Life Time Grand Prix roster, which was announced last week and which, to Hannah’s shock, included Sarah. When the announcement came down, Sarah was in Mexico City getting a tattoo and had no idea if she’d made the list. Then, they talk about the importance of taking breaks, even from your favorite hobbies. Hannah’s relationship with tattooing is evolving, and it’s got both Sturms feeling philosophical. Lastly, Sarah talks about going to a lucha libre match in Mexico City. She bought a mask for the occasion, which it turns out is a little more than Hannah can handle.

Sarah is in Mexico City this week at yet another wedding and has had a blissfully bike-free few days. Hannah, meanwhile, has gotten back into running thanks to all that New York City Marathon talk last week. In this episode, the Sturm sisters chat about Sarah’s experience in her new favorite city, her time in the baby PeaceCorps in high school, and Hannah’s re-entry into running. Then, they dive deep into the challenges of being a female pro athlete in your mid-30s, including the decision about when or whether to have children, the pressures of diet culture, and the increasingly younger crop of new racers. Last but not least, Sarah has a theory about plane farting that ties into the conversation about the Cart Narc way back in episode two.

Both Sarah and Hannah were busy attending weddings last week and they returned with stories to tell, including one that involves multiple instances of outdoor nudity. Hannah’s trip contained both packrafting and a day in Vegas, while Sarah’s involved a plane companion so unpleasant that it ruined her anniversary. Later, they discuss pet wrangling, Gravel Burn, and Sarah’s mysterious rash, but mostly, they just want to spread un-fact-checked thoughts on the New York City Marathon.

It’s Halloween week, and you better believe that the Sturm sisters have dressed accordingly. Sarah is settling into her off-season, Hannah is headed to Vegas, and they’re both still a little prickly about a scheduling conflict they had to sort out before sitting down to record. They reminisce over some of their favourite Halloween costumes, discuss the big changes coming to the Life Time Grand Prix in 2026, and contemplate various gender inequities in the sport. Tangents include sex dungeons, lobster, and football season.
