The squad is back together—though Eric is battling some post-Patagonia food poisoning. We hear all about his epic experience filming with the Firefly Cycling Club and the wild journey that came with it. After some Rapid Fire, we dive into your questions! This week, we discuss:

• Dramatic speed changes with or without a pull buoy
• Wildlife safety when training in the wilderness
• How often we wash our pool gear
• Training solo vs. with a national team
• Essential tools to bring on the bike for training and racing
• Timing your pre-race carb load
• Is triathlon losing its adventurous spirit?
