In this episode we talk about holiday training logistics, accidentally melting children's hair, mice, keys, gravestones, fast hearts, fettling and munincipality pools (sic).

In this episode Emma talks about her recent Outlaw Ironman race at Nottingham and what her body thought of her gel nutrition strategy! We also chat about Themi's children teaching him (c'mon Daddy, they're easy!) tumble turns and discuss the less discussed, probably for good reason, experiences of shaving for athletes.

In this episode we talk about Emma's pre-Ironman thoughts, recorded the day before Outlaw; and we enjoyed talking with special guest 13 year old Eleni, from whom we gained insight (and parental judgement) into her triathlon and daughter-of-a-triathlete experiences.

In this episode we talk about post-covid recovery and slow return to training, trips to the dump, Garmin watch screens, preparation for Emma's Outlaw full ironman, encountering dogs whilst training and embarrassing children at parents evenings.

This week Tri Parenting talks about whether it's a good idea to bring children to triathlon events, about both ironman and ironing sessions, race plans, race reports, covid woes and general chit chat. Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @the_tri_parenting_podcast
