Two Gomers Podcast

Three weeks to the race, and the Gomers are just the right mix of excited and terrified.  And they’ve got a lot to say about it, which made it necessary to split the Episode into two parts!  This is Part 2.

Steven is in the midst of a “long prep,” including waking up at 5 am, wearing contacts, and cramming himself inside tight clothing.  Anthony spends time swimming with someone half the Gomers’ age, and twice their talent.  The Nation gives great swimming advice.  And the guys remember a show they were (sort of) (ok, VERY sort of) a part of.

Monday Survey this week:  If you could give ONE TIP to a new runner, what would it be?  JUST ONE!  Happy running!

Three weeks to the race, and the Gomers are just the right mix of excited and terrified.  And they’ve got a lot to say about it, which made it necessary to split the Episode into two parts!  This is Part 1.

We’re in the month of the Triathlon, and the Gomers are getting nervous/excited/nervous!

Steven starts a fight at the gym.  Anthony falls down on his bike.  Weight, surprisingly, is not really being lost.  Hotel pools mean something different when you’re training for a triathlon.  EXTREMELY basic lessons are new to the Gomers.  And tons of famous sayings are screwed up.  Oh, and dedorkifying a bike is a must.

This week’s survey – if you could give just ONE tip to a new swimmer, what would it be?  JUST ONE!  Happy running!

This one’s a doozy, as Steven regales us with the tale of his first ocean swim(s)!  Here’s what to expect:

1.  The ocean is cold.

2.  The ocean is salty.

3.  This ocean is big.

And that’s just the icing on the cake!  Hope you enjoy the episode, and Happy Swimming!

In a flashback/time-warp episode, the guys talk about Anthony’s first ride on his new bike.  It’s eye-opening and exciting and we can’t wait for you to hear it and give us feedback.

That’s all you need to know!  Enjoy the show, and Happy Biking!

The Gomers are feeling the increased training in this, the 13th Episode of Two Gomers Race a Triathlon, but that won’t stop them from updating you and trying to be upbeat!

Anthony tries nose plugs and a swimming cap, and likes one of them.  Steven gets Jelly Legs after tying his first biking/running brick workout.  Baby wipes are good for more than wiping your baby.  Bikes are special to people, and they talk about them.  Drawing for the free tech-shirts takes place.  We thank a bunch of people for being awesome and generous.  And Steven gets a tattoo.

There it is.

Monday Survey: What’s the one bike tip you’d wish you’d known as a beginner?  Happy Running!

After a short, AMC-like mid-season break, the boys are back to finish their training for their triathlon!

Big news:  Steven bought a bike.  But not before revealing the picture of himself on his Stawpid Hipster Bike to Anthony and the world.  The guys go backwards when they kick.  Anthony has discovered his own swimming guru.  Steven DOESN’T watch House of Cards while on long bike rides, even though he totally could.  Flagstaff is hilly, and it’s undecided whether that’s a good or bad thing.  Many members of the Gomernation are thanked.  And the guys can’t remember the name of the place the Saved By the Bell hangs out.

Monday Survey:  What kind of bike do you ride?  Have a great week, and Happy Running/Biking/Swimming!

In this, the 11th episode, the Gomers finally start feeling like they’re hitting their stride in the pool!

Steven’s building some muscle memory.  Anthony is working on his bilateral breathing.  Nose plugs rule.  Ziplock bags do too.  There was a caste system in the Gomers’ Middle School cafeteria.  Anthony was going to be an Eagle Scout but his troop folded.  The Biggest Losers raced a triathlon.  And money clips are better than thick wallets.

Episode 10 already?  The Gomers are back with more swimming, biking, and running fun!

Steven wishes he’d gotten the memo about the film crew at his pool.  Anthony gets a compliment from a nice couple.  It’s possible to exercise even when you can’t move.  Sun in your eyes is reason enough to learn to breathe on the opposite side.  Road bikes are more fun than stationary bikes.  Listeners share their “hardest thing they’ve ever done” stories.  And the Gomers might be Daft Punk.

Have a great week, and Happy Running!
