Summary

The Real Triathlon crew — Lisa Becharas, Jackson Laundry, Garrick Loewen, and Nicholas Chase — reunite to talk training load, how to know when to back off, the mental side of recovery, and practical tips for niggles and nutrition. They preview the season openers (Ironman New Zealand, Dallas 70.3 and other early races), debate flying vs. driving to races, equipment trends, and the growing pro start lists. Plus the usual Pass or Smash, Grinds My Gears, and chat about taxes, pool etiquette, and public transit. Honest, funny, and straight-from-the-coach insights for racers and fans.
