This week, we kick things off with some triathlon news, Eric’s pre-race thoughts on the Black Canyon 50K, a round of rapid-fire questions, and then dive into listener-submitted topics. Here’s what we covered:

• Favorite biking and running socks
• When to time a massage pre- and post-race
• Giro Aerohead II helmet
• Electronic shifters: worth it?
• Are Ironman tattoos in or out?
• Fitting in winter trainer sessions as a young swimmer
• Different tire sizes for front and rear wheels
• "Taking in" the scenery during a race
• Training and logistics of van life with a dog
