This episode brings you a heartwarming chat between our hosts and triathlon newbie Josh, who improved his timing by a whopping nine minutes in just a year. Jenna and Fede also share their recent training updates.

Next, we tackle your questions, with a special emphasis on aerodynamics. We discuss the implications of Roth banning fairings on bikes but allowing certain types of shoes, explore the efficiency of a BTA set-up for the cockpit, and discuss women's menstruation cycles and their potential impact on performance. We also debate the benefits of a dedicated tri bike versus a normal bike equipped with aero bars.
