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?
