It's been a few weeks since your hosts Jillian, Matt, and Jay could get together to record, so this week we are dropping two episodes!  In Episode 27, we recap the amazing weekend Matt and Jillian had competing at the Triple T Triathlon in Ohio.  Then they put a cherry on top of this episode by diving into their Zwift stats, favorite courses, badges, and their pizza scores!  We had a little fun with this one so we hope you do too!

If it isn't on Strava, it didn't happen, right!?  No way!  You put in the work and you know it, that is all that matters, right!?  Well, both are kinda right.  Data is a tool that helps us get the most out of our training and racing.  It keeps us in check and it motivates us too.  Matt, Jillian, and Jay discuss the data fields on their devices that mean the most to them for each of the disciplines of triathlon.  We hope you might learn on how to use your data wisely and not to be spoil the fun of triathlon by focusing on it too much!

Matt, Jillian, and Jay attempt to unpack the gigantic topic of nutrition for triathletes.  We are not professionals in this area but our combined experience in the sport provides a pretty wide array of approaches to daily nutrition as well as race day.  This is definitely not the last episode we will devote to this topic.  We hope that something we discuss might click with your training and eating goals!

In episode 5 of this season, Matt, Jillian, and Jay discussed tons of topics about bikes.  Unfortunately, we didn't get to everything we had hoped to cover, so we are back again to try and cover more dimensions of the longest leg of triathlon.  We cover saddle selection, shoes, helmets, eye wear, kits, and nutrition set-ups.  Guess what though, we didn't get to everything, so part 3 is in our future!

In the Northern Hemisphere, we are in the middle of the dog days of winter.  Many of us are sequestered to our "caves" to get our training done.  What can we do to make it more tolerable or engaging?  How can we remain purposeful and not let our moods influence our desire to train?  Matt, Jillian, and Jay take you on an indoor ride with them discussing all their tips and tricks to getting the triathlon work done!
