That lake looks amazing. Love the camera work 👌

[@TheTrashlete]

[@Anandadhikari7]

Thank you!

Hey man! Great video! Do you have a coach?

[@TheTrashlete]

Currently no. I’ve worked with a coach in the past and now I just enjoy building my own program

[@pacedc1]

Is that a pay phone on your swim?! Haven’t seen one of those in years!

[@TheTrashlete]

😂😂 everyone that comes to the lake says the same thing. There’s zero phone reception down there so I think they leave it just in case.

[@mariusvanaswegen]

[@TheTrashlete]

Thank you!

Nice video, how many hours sleep you get a night or what time you go to bed with the early rises

[@TheTrashlete]

I average 7-7.5 hours a night for now. I’m super lucky and my son has been a really good sleeper from early on and my wife does night feedings so I’m still able to get good sleep. I’m shoot to be in bed at 8:30-9 to be up at 5am.

iam also new to this stuff and training for a 70.3, just did a 3 hour bike ride on erg mode why am I insane?? Is riding on erg mode harder or something then free riding? I feel like if I turn erg mode off it doesn't feel much different I have to push the same wattages anyway?

[@TheTrashlete]

Haha, I just think using erg mode for long rides is sooo boring. At least free ride there’s some changes in cadence and resistance that break it up.

[@parkerkerth8446]

Hey man! Are you interested in getting a coach?
