TRI Page #2

- I didn't expect

to see you here.

- You decided to give it a shot.

- Yes, I did.

- Good.

- I just, I figured

why not, right?

- Yeah.

- Got my best friend

to sign up too.

- That's good.

You can support each other.

- She almost backed

out when I showed her

the Julie moss clip.

- You watched it.

It's amazing, right?

I tell you, she's one

of my favorite people.

She's like a machine.

So, do you have a

team to train with?

- No, I found a program online.

- I would recommend

you finding a team.

T3 hondo is a good one,

just tell Susan I sent ya.

- Okay, I will, thank you.

- No problem.

Good seeing you.

- You too.

How are you?

- You know, hangin' in there.

I'm good.

Thank you.

- Legs, I'm comin' for ya.

Woo!

All right.

Good.

- This is it.

Hello.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- So, my friend and i

want to do an ironman.

Oh great, which one?

- D.C., the nation's triathlon.

- Yeah.

- Is this your first?

- Yep, we're ready.

- Okay, so I'm not sure

you wanna do an ironman.

The nation's tri

is an olympic race.

- Okay.

- Well, which one

did Julie moss do?

- An ironman.

- Great.

- Two for the ironman, please.

- All right, well, an ironman

is gonna be 2.4 mile swim

with 112 mile bike ride.

It ends with a

fill 26.2 marathon.

That's gonna be

swimming, biking, running

from D.C. to Philadelphia,

140 miles total

in less than 17 hours.

- Word, tell us

about shorter races.

- Sure, no problem.

We have teammates who are

working on all distances.

For example, the olympic

race is gonna be a point nine

mile swim with a

25 mile bike ride,

and then it ends

with a 6.2 mile run.

- That sounds better.

So do you guys have

a training program?

- Oh yeah, and you're

gonna get tons of support.

In fact, we have worked

with a lot of beginners,

and our group has a really

healthy mix of newbies,

aged groupers, and

even some people going

for their pro cards.

- And we also have

special events

and we do team fundraisers

for cancer research.

- Oh.

- Oh, cool.

That does sound cool.

- Actually, here is the

group training specifically

for the nations race.

- Alright then.

- Great.

- Uh, you guys have a typo.

- We do?

- Yeah.

5:
00am swim.

- Oh, no, that's not a typo.

That's just when we

have access to the pool.

- It's when they have

access to the pool.

I have a lot of questions.

Are we really doing this?

Is it really five

in the morning?

Why am I here?

Is it really five

in the morning?

- You made it.

- Barely.

You should see how long it

takes this one to get ready.

- I'm Susan, the swim coach.

- I'm Skyler.

Nat?

- I think it just hit me.

- Don't worry, we're not gonna

throw you in the deep end,

yet.

- I'm ready.

- Okay, let's get

in, get warmed up.

- Cool.

- Thank you all for leaving

the comfort of your warm bed

to join us here this morning.

What you're about to embark

on is a very difficult,

but also very rewarding journey.

Our focus?

Personal improvement.

Because in triathlons,

you're only opponent is who?

Yourself, right?

So, let's get started

with a few laps, shall we?

Scott, can you lead the way?

- Well hello, Scott.

- This is supposed

to be fun, you know.

- Is it that obvious?

- Yeah.

- I'm nervous.

I just fell like I dove in,

you know, without thinking.

- Well you're here now.

And that's the first

step, showing up.

The second, enjoy yourself.

Try to squeeze

some fun out of it.

- Okay.

- I don't think I've ever seen

a shark swim quite like that.

- Clearly you've

never seen sharknato.

- I'm Scott.

- Skyler.

- Can I give you a tip?

- Sure.

- I notice that your legs

were sinking when you swim.

It's because you're

looking up too much.

When your head goes up,

your legs will go down,

so if you keep your

face down, you know,

look at the bottom of the pool,

your legs will come

up automatically

and you won't be dragging

yourself through the water.

Let's try it.

- So, put my face in the pool?

- Yep.

Good.

Nice.

- Yeah.

That does feel better.

- You'll be sneaking up

on your prey in no time.

- Alright.

- Let's try it again.

- How was that?

- That was pretty great.

- Awesome.

- Who's that?

- That's my sister, Christy.

- Christy!

Come join us.

- Cheery.

- Yeah.

- I just wanna commend

everyone for coming in today.

You all avoided the

dns, did not start.

That is the most important

accomplishment in a triathlon.

The next step, avoid dnf.

Anyone?

- Did not finish.

- Exactly.

And finally, there's dfl.

Dead f'in last.

Hopefully no one

here will be dfl,

but anyone who's dns or

dnf wishes they were dfl.

- Candice, you're

almost finished.

- Good.

- How you feelin'?

- Feel like I'm at Disney world.

- You're doing great.

- You ever been

in one of these things?

- What?

- You know how at restaurants,

they make the waiters try

the menu so they have an

actual opinion of which dishes

are good and which

aren't when you ask them.

- I just assume they push

the more expensive option.

- Some do, but the

nicer restaurants,

they make them try a

bite from all the dishes.

- No, I have never

been in the mri.

- You should try it sometime.

It's fun.

- Maybe if I was 19

and ate significantly

fewer slices of pizza.

- Oh no, this is very sexy.

This looks like a corset

that stopped trying.

- Oh it's trying,

believe me, it's trying.

- Hey guys, how're you doing?

You look amazing.

How do those fit?

How do those feel?

- How do you feel, nat?

- I can't breathe.

- You don't need to breathe.

Anyone sees you like that,

you'll be dead of shame.

- Well,

they're supposed to be tight,

you know, snug.

- I think, I think

these compression shorts

are just a bit too compressed.

- Yeah, it definitely looks

like your butt swallowed

a rubber band.

- Okay, well, let me go try

to find you a different size,

okay?

- Okay.

- Alright.

I'll get on that, and while

I'm pulling some other options,

how about I get you

something from the juice bar?

Yeah?

We have amazing organic free

range artisanal protein shake.

- We have a list, if

you could just go ahead

and get us one of everything

on that, that's be great.

- Oh my gosh.

Get this thing off of me.

- And err on the side

of breathability.

Coming dear.

How the heck did you

get yourself into this?

I'm not unzipping that,

I don't know what's

gonna come flying out.

I'll text Rex, see if he can

come and pry you out of this.

- I hate you.

- Okay.

- Hi, I'm Trevor, I'll be

your bicycle concierge today.

We're here to connect you

to your perfect bicycle.

This can be your

tool, your companion,

your friend, your salvation.

- Oh good, it has a 401k.

- It all sounds very serious.

- When you're out on the

road with the right piece

of equipment between your legs,

it can be a magical experience.

- What kind of razor do you use?

- This is a cervelo p5.

It's equipped with a full

durace 9000 di2, 11 speed group

with hydraulic brakes

and remote shifting.
