Podcasts about Wetsuit

The couple's view of life is grateful for a return to health. A few days down in the dumps came after a wonderful Christmas jaunt to Savannah, GA. and Hilton Head. Highlights from that, plus entertainments to ponder, holiday visitors, and more. Come on along!

This podcast is the audio version of the Gear Garage Live Show, where we answer submitted questions and talk all things whitewater. On this Friday night Gear Garage Live, Zach digs into a full batch of viewer questions about gear, boats, and how much stuff you really need to drag down the river. From minimalist multi-day setups to the realities of owning a dory, this one is all about making smarter, simpler choices on and off the water. He also shares some honest opinions on helmets, packrafts, and winter runs in Oregon and Washington, plus a behind-the-scenes look at why show notes and transcripts aren't as simple as they sound. In this episode Finding the “sweet spot” between comfort and overloading your multi-day raft, including Zach's minimalist kit (one dry bag, small tent, simple pad, limited shoes). Why some private trips feel like moving a small furniture store down the river—cots, giant Paco pads, huge chairs—and how that affects your ability to actually enjoy camp. Packrafts vs hardshell kayaks: when a packraft makes sense (hike-ins, big portages, exploratory creeks) and why Zach thinks using one on drive-up runs or the Grand Canyon doesn't really add up. Thoughts on modern packraft designs like kayak-shaped boats and why he's loved ultra-light decked inflatables in the past. Helmet talk: concerns about NRS/WRSI-style buckets, broken adjusters in far-flung places, the Virginia Tech ratings, and why—if it fits—Zach leans toward Sweet Protection lids. Wetsuit separates and safety: real incidents where wetsuit pants or shorts slid down and trapped swimmers, and what you can do (tight drawstrings, good fit, secure shorts) to avoid that hazard. Winter day-trip ideas for private boaters around Salem and the greater Oregon/Washington region, with pointers to the Whitewater Guidebook and cataraft progression articles. Dories and McKenzie drift boats for rivers like the Rogue, Owyhee, and Lower Deschutes—storage, trailers, group dynamics, rock hits, wrapping, and why rafts are so forgiving by comparison. How Zach currently handles podcast pages and show notes, and why fully detailed transcripts for every live show are a heavy lift for a “for-fun” project. Gear & Rivers Mentioned Multi-day camping kits: dry bags, pads, cots, chairs, tents, and shoe strategies for guides and private boaters. Packrafts and light decked inflatables for hike-in missions and portage-heavy runs. Helmet options for big heads, including NRS/WRSI-style helmets and Sweet Protection models. Cold-weather layering with wetsuit pants and tops vs going straight to a drysuit. Oregon & Washington winter runs, including classics like the Rogue River and other regional staples highlighted on Whitewater Guidebook. Dories vs McKenzie drift boats vs rafts for rocky, shallow Northwest rivers and big-water classics. Resources Whitewater Guidebook – Zach's write-ups on Oregon, Washington, and California runs, plus rowing progression articles. Rogue River – Multi-day staple that comes up often in discussions of winter boating and dories/drift boats. Guidebooks like “Soggy Sneakers” and “Paddling/Kayaking Oregon” for more winter run ideas around Salem and beyond. If you've ever wondered whether you're bringing way too much stuff, if a dory is really the next boat you need, or how worried to be about your wetsuit pants, this episode is for you.

Liebes Team, ich hoffe, ihr habt euren Wetsuit dabei und eure Sonnenbrille, weil heute nehme ich euch einmal mehr mit in die Welt des Surfens. Sie hat auf dem Wasser fast alles gewonnen, was man so gewinnen kann und hat sich dann gleich doppelt selbständig gemacht: einerseits mit einer Company, die Rapid Surfboards herstellt (Rapid Surfen ist das auf stehenden Wellen) und andererseits mit Keynote-Speaking. Also ganz breit aufgestellt, alles selber aufgebaut - dafür schon mal riesen Respekt. UND es gibt noch einen Funfact, sie hat nämlich verhältnismäßig spät erst mit dem Surfen angefangen (mit 20 Jahren nämlich) und möchte deshalb mit ihrer Story inspirieren: man kann alles schaffen, wenn man sich nur reinhängt. In diesem Sinne: ganz viel Spaß mit der Geschichte von: Valeska Schneider! **Schnitt und Postproduktion: Andy Aksen** https://www.aksenmedia.de/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyaksen/

Did you do any type of gut training while also using Vespa?     She also posted some questions about Vespa on the I AM TriDot Facebook page:   For those of you using Vespa, I have some questions as I'm considering trying it. Are you eating a lower carb diet most days? How do you fuel your longer rides/runs now? How has your race nutrition changed? Is gut training still beneficial? Do you still carb load before a longer race?   Get Gritty Tip: Touch Your Dreams Every triathlete has a dream. It could be crossing the finish line of your first race, qualifying for a championship, or becoming a stronger version of yourself. But what sets great athletes apart is having a clear vision of that dream and working relentlessly to make it a reality. As Coach Ed Mylett says, "It takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams." You are the leader of your own journey, and your vision can guide you through every training session, every race, and every obstacle. Vision is the fuel that drives consistent action. It's easy to get caught up in the grind of training—times, distances, paces—but the real power lies in seeing beyond the day-to-day. When you have a vision, you're not just training for the next workout; you're training for your dream. That vision will push you through the tough days when you feel tired, frustrated, or uncertain. It reminds you that you are not just chasing times or placing in races—you are building the athlete you dream to be. What's your vision for your triathlon journey? Are you clear on your dream, or are you still figuring it out? Take time to reconnect with that vision—whether it's personal growth, achieving a specific race goal, or leading others. The power of vision is in its ability to inspire you to keep going when things feel tough. Get Gritty Action: Write down one thing that represents your ultimate dream as a triathlete. Whether it's a time goal, an experience, or a feeling, get specific about your vision and keep it front and center in your training. Share it with your community to hold yourself accountable. Keep your dream alive, and never stop selling it to yourself. Because when you have vision, you can achieve greatness.   TriDot Workout of the Week: Race Scenario Drills Welcome back to another segment of the TriDot Workout of the Week. We are going off script and covering a key part of your preparation for a race that is not related to your aerobic capacity or FTP. We are talking Bike Handling Skills for Race Day. This past weekend we covered the following Drills: Emergency Braking (crash in front of you) Braking Descending/Cornering (courses like Coeur d'Alene) How to bunny hop (a water bottle or pot hole) How to ride through and Aid Station and take nutrition Dropped chain recovery How to eat/drink/sunscreen while riding Draft Legal Pace Line / riding in a group Peeing on the bike    Fun Segment: Triathlon Fantasy Draft! Welcome to the Triathlon Fantasy Draft—the game where we build our dream team, race, or gear lineup one pick at a time. This is a no-holds-barred drafting showdown where everything in triathlon is up for grabs—gear, races, distances, legends, and even post-race snacks. No duplicates, no do-overs, and plenty of opinions. You'll love some of these picks… and you might want to roast others. Let the draft begin!     1. “Build Your Dream Race Day” Draft 1 item from each category: Swim location (for example, a lake, ocean, pool, etc.), Cozumel Bike course style (flat, hilly, technical, iconic), Pike's Peak APEX Run vibe (trail, city, beach, mountain) Post-race food:  Race-day weather 2. “All-Time Tri Gear Draft” Draft your gear setup: Wetsuit brand Bike (brand + style) Running shoes Must-have tech (watch, power meter, etc.) Nutrition product 3. “Triathlete Dream Team” Draft your ultimate relay team using any triathletes (pros, age groupers, historical icons): 1 swimmer 1 cyclist 1 runner 1 coach 1 wildcard (celebrity or fictional athlete)     Alright, the picks are in—but now it's your turn to weigh in! Who built the best fantasy lineup? Cast your vote and send us your own dream draft. And remember: there's no wrong answer—unless you drafted a treadmill as your race venue…   Closing:   Thanks again for listening this week.

He encourages others to overcome the fear of failure and strive for their goals, believing that success comes from pushing one's limits and learning from setbacks. Get Gritty Tip: Spring Training Spring Cleaning Alright, triathletes, listen up. This is a great reminder to do a Pre-Season Gear Check before the training really ramps up. Here are 10 things you can check, tune or replace as needed. 1. Bike cleats - listen to Cycling in Alignment Pod 2. Running shoes - replace old and worn (replacement window 300-500) 3. Brake pads or disk wear - check lock screw 4. Wetsuit - look for tears and wear 5. Chain ring and cassette wear - look for shark fins 6. Tire wear - cuts 7. Rim tape 8. Power meter batteries 9. HR strap batteries 10. Bike tune-up and servicing  Spring Training Spring is here, and that means it's time to lay down the foundation for your best summer races yet. I'm here to dish out ten recommendations to get you race-ready and thriving by the time the starting gun goes off. So, grab your notepad or just mentally file this away as your spring triathlon checklist:   Proactive Bike Maintenance: Your bike is your race-day ride-or-die. Get it tuned up—replace those worn tires, check the chain, and make sure your brakes are crisp and responsive. A squeaky bike isn't a speedy bike. Perfect Your Bike Fit: Comfort and efficiency are the name of the game. Spring is the ideal time to see a bike fitter—small tweaks in posture can lead to huge gains in performance and stave off injuries. Run Gait Analysis: Have a pro take a look at your run form. A little feedback could help you reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries and maybe even shave seconds off your mile splits. Riding in Wind: Summer races often mean unpredictable weather, so use spring to master those blustery bike rides. Practice holding your line in crosswinds and staying aero without exhausting yourself. Sun Protection Routine: No one wants to look like a lobster crossing the finish line. Spring training means figuring out which sunscreen won't sweat off, and getting comfy with UV-protective gear like sunglasses and hats. Transition Practice: Time lost in transitions is time you'll never get back. Set up mini transition zones in your yard and rehearse until your T1 and T2 flow like clockwork. Nutrition Experimentation: What works for your gut during a long ride or brick workout? Test different fueling strategies now so you aren't rolling the dice on race day. Open Water Swim Practice: If the lakes and reservoirs in your area are warming up, start hitting them. Practice sighting and adapting to unpredictable water conditions—it's a whole new ball game compared to the pool. Strength and Mobility Work: Add a dash of strength training to your weekly schedule. Focus on key areas like your core, glutes, and shoulders to improve stability and power in all three disciplines. Mental Race Prep: Visualize your success, plan your pacing strategies, and practice mindfulness techniques to keep you focused on race day. Your brain is just as much a part of the game as your body.   There you have it—ten actionable, spring-season steps to make this summer's races your best yet. Whether you're aiming for a PR or simply hoping to cross the finish line with a smile, these tips should have you dialed in. Now, go crush it out there! TriDot Workout/Drill of the Week:  Decreasing Intervals  This session is similar to a normal interval run but the duration of the efforts decreases as you go. Do your best to maintain a consistent pace with each effort regardless of its duration. The pace of your last interval should be close to the first. Resist the urge to go faster on the last few shorter efforts and focus instead on holding strong form. Recoveries should be at an extremely slow jog. These sessions are often done on a track.   Warmup 3-5 min jog followed by 2x10 yards or meters of each drill: Quick Feet Butt Kicks A Skips Asymmetric Arm Swings B Skips   2 x 50-60 yard or meter Strides Leg Swings   Main Set 2 x 3 min @ Z4 (60 sec) 3 x 1m 30s @ Z4 (60 sec) or 2 x 600 @ Z4 (60 sec) 3 x 300 @ Z4 (60 sec)   Balance of time @ Z2   Fun Segment: Like It, Love It, Leave It – Ultrarunner Edition!  Alright, ultra runners and those who are just ultra curious—it's time for another round of Like It, Love It, or Leave It! – Ultrarunner Edition! The game where we throw out ultra running scenarios, gear, or habits, and you have to decide: Do you like it (it's fine, but you could take it or leave it), love it (you're all in), or leave it (hard pass, never again). Rich, you ready to see where we stand on the ultra-madness? The Ultra Running Lineup – Like It, Love It, or Leave It? 1. Pre-Race Breakfast: Cold Pizza at 3 AM You're getting ready for a 50-miler, and the only thing available at this ungodly hour is cold pizza from the night before. Like it, love it, or leave it? 2. Mid-Race Aid Station Mystery Soup You're 40 miles deep, you roll into an aid station, and they hand you a cup of ‘mystery soup.' It's warm, it smells kind of good, but no one can tell you exactly what's in it. Like it, love it, or leave it? 3. Post-Race Foot Photos Ultra runners love to flex those gnarly, blister-covered, toenail-less feet on social media. Like it, love it, or leave it?” 4. Running Through the Night Headlamp on, sleep deprivation setting in, hallucinations starting to appear—like it, love it, or leave it? 5. Mid-Race River Crossing You're deep into an ultra, and suddenly—bam! There's a freezing cold river between you and the next aid station. No bridge, no steppingstones, just straight through the water. Like it, love it, or leave it?

A little over three years ago I interviewed Andre Borell, director of Envoy: Shark Cull, a hard-hitting documentary highlighting the archaic shark mitigation systems employed by the Australian government throughout Queensland and New South Wales. The doco, narrated by Eric Banna, was initially aired exclusively on Stan and three years down the line has a much greater global audience through many other popular media streams including Netflix. During today's episode, I grab an update from Andre and an excellent insight into his latest project, the Shark Stop wetsuit. Now, in its second round of funding, the Shark Stop wetsuits were originally designed by surfer Haydon Burford, who wanted to find a wetsuit similar to the impact protection for motorcyclists via Kevlar. Through his research and development, he created what we see now as the bite-resistant wetsuit Shark Stop. Tested by Flinders University on board the Rodney Fox vessel, Andre shares the impressive results and findings, so join me as we delve deeper into the creation, those results, the progress of the business, and the opportunities available for investors seeking to make a change.

""Swimming in 43-degree water with no wetsuit, knowing sharks could be nearby, pushes every cell in your body to scream for warmth and safety. But that's where mental toughness comes in. You break it down—30 minutes at a time—pushing past the pain and fear to discover another level of yourself."

In this riveting episode of the Mark and Pete podcast, we dive into the unexpected and rather soggy announcement from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on 22 May 2024. Standing in the pouring rain, Sunak looked less than prime ministerial as he informed the nation that he had requested permission from King Charles III to dissolve Parliament and call a general election for 4 July.We'll explore the significance of this announcement, made under the grey skies, and what it means for the UK's political landscape. The process, executed in line with the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act of 2022, marks a departure from the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011, adding a fresh twist to British politics.Join Mark and Pete as they dissect the events leading up to the announcement, the reactions from political opponents, and the public's response to Sunak's drenched demeanor. Was this a strategic move or a moment of sheer misfortune? Tune in for our take on this rainy day revelation and what it could mean for the future of the UK government.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

Ever feel like your heart's racing before you've even dipped a toe into open water? That's the anxiety Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation is here to tackle. With a wealth of experience and a calming influence, he's your guide through the choppy waters of open water swimming anxiety, providing practical advice that's crucial whether you're gearing up for your first swim sans pool lanes or you're a seasoned swimmer looking to refine your open water technique. During our session with Coach Patrick, he doesn't just throw you in at the deep end; he equips you with a life jacket's worth of strategies to keep you buoyant. From emphasizing the significance of safety—cue the wetsuits and buoyancy aids—to the importance of a collective swim route and the power of camaraderie in the vastness of open water, he's got your back. Listen in as we navigate the loss of poolside sensory cues and learn to embrace the unpredictability that makes open water swimming both an exhilarating challenge and a metaphor for life's adventures.

Are you ready for your hot race? Today we look at physical and mental approaches to staying cool on the race course.  From whether or not to wear a wetsuit to freezing your bottles to pulling back a little on the bike. Once you get too hot, you can't cool down, unless you stop or walk. We'll look at ways to keep your core temp down as long as possible. We talk about heat acclimation, huge mistakes, and the best way to use your watts. We also look at the week leading up to the race and some best practices to prep yourself for the weekend. Topics: Rational expectations The week of the race The biggest mistakes you can make in a hot race Plain water vs. electrolytes Salt Heat acclimation isn't bullet proof You don't realize how much you sweat on the bike How long can you put off being HOT? There' no turning back Wetsuit or not? How slow can you take the swim? Try to get cold in transitions Staying cool on the bike How to start the run Aero helmets and heat Heart Rate and feel Watts as a brake  Keep your head cool  Coaching Inquiries Mike Tarrolly - CrushingIron@gmail.com Robbie Bruce - C26Coach@gmail.com www.c26triathlon.com

Ever felt like a fish out of water in a wetsuit that's too tight, or flapped around in one that's too loose? Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation is here to guide you through the choppy waters of selecting a wetsuit that fits just right and matches the demands of your race day. He dives deep into the dual purpose of wetsuits – not only keeping your core body temperature optimal but also enhancing your buoyancy and form. It's a treasure trove of insights for triathletes eager to optimize comfort and performance. Imagine zipping up a wetsuit that feels like it was tailored for you, where chafing and restrictions are a thing of the past. During this episode, Coach Patrick unravels the complexities of wetsuit selection, sharing the importance of snug fit around the quads, strategic hip sizing, and the testing of different brands and models. This isn't just talk; it's practical advice you can use at your next race or training session. So, whether you're a newbie or a seasoned Ironman, prepare to up your game in the water with wisdom you can't afford to miss.

Hello!This week, we talk about the big Polyamory article in New York Magazine and the proposition that breaking the bonds of monogamy might be a political statement, one that frees both sides from the constraints of marriage. Are we just reinventing ways to justify selfish behavior? And why does every personal decision in the lives of upper middle class, well-educated people need to turn into some movement that promises nothing? We also continue our ongoing talk about visions of the climate future with a conversation about “Psalm for the Wild Built” by Becky Chambers, which, in turn, led to a longer conversation about surf movies and Tyler's hobby of fishing at 3 AM in a wetsuit in the cold unruly waters of coastal Maine.
