This week Eric and Paula toughed it out and battled through sickness to make sure we got an episode out in time. We kicked things off with a Swim Sets with Paula, briefly covered the Tour of Flanders, and then moved on to listener-submitted questions. This week we discussed:

Shaving weight off the bike, only to add four 1-liter bottles in a race
Our imaginary dream triathlon product
When the juice is, or isn’t, worth the squeeze in triathlon racing
How Eric attaches SRAM blips to his bars
How to act and react when other runners look great on course
Can breathwork really increase VO₂ max by 10%?
Do triathlon-specific bike shoes actually make a difference?
Is it okay to swim only freestyle in a masters class?
How do you “shake off” a bad race?
