Zwift Cribs! Our ULTIMATE PAIN CAVE - 2024 Updated Edition

Indoor bike training is a staple of our triathlon training routine. We can spend upwards of 6-8 hours a week - or more - in our pain cave exploring the world of Watopia and beyond. Because we spend a lot of time in the pain cave, we built it up to be a fun and productive experience for us. Here's a look at our 2024 edition of our ULTIMATE Zwift Pain Cave!

Welcome to the KZbin home of Team Saunders Tri - Cait & Tif
Caitlin began her triathlon career in 2012 on a fat tire bike and no swim background. She met Tiffany when she was training for Ironman Texas 2013. Accompanying Tif through most of the training (minus most of the swimming), and serving as a finish line catcher volunteer, catching Tif at the end of her first Ironman, it didn't take long for the triathlon bug to bite. She completed her first full Ironman in 2015 and added another in 2017 - crossing the finish line both times hand-in-hand with the love of her life.
Tiffany's triathlon life started in 2009 with The Rookie Tri at the Texas Ski Ranch. From the time she crossed the finish line, she was hooked. Since then, she has added 3 full Ironmans to her resume' (Texas 2013, 2015, 2017). But it's the 70.3 distance that has been her favorite calling. Since her first Ironman 70.3 in Galveston in 2010, Tiffany has crossed the Half Ironman finish line more than 15 times, including two Ironman 70.3 World Championship appearances - with Caitlin - in South Africa, 2018, and St. George, Utah, 2021.
Team Saunders is documenting the journey of training, life and taking on new challenges along the way. A pair of Age Group triathletes, they hope to motivate and inspire others to find their own challenges.

That place is great!

[@TeamSaundersTri]

Thank you! We enjoy spending a lot of time in there. It’s been a process to build it up but worth it.

Amazing pain cave!

[@TeamSaundersTri]

Thanks! We’re proud of how it’s evolved. It’s truly our second home. 😂

[@cdnnurse01]

Great video and lots of amazing memories, love the Scott Flathouse poster what an amazing gift. Keep making those memories

[@TeamSaundersTri]

Thank you! It’s our home in there and only right to make it fun for us. You’re right…the Flathouse addition is super cool! Grateful for his talents and friendship.

Great pain cave! I've got a load of plastic stack and store boxes with lids, store a load of kit and stack up out the way really easily.

[@TeamSaundersTri]

Thank you for the tip! Hopefully we’ll tackle that project soon. Appreciate you watching and taking time to comment!

[@colinlord]

2024 project: get those lights to sync with each of y’all’s power outputs!

[@TeamSaundersTri]

If only we knew someone with geek skills @colinlord. 😂

Great Vid! You have sold me on the Zwift Hub One! And, I am new to Zwift. I am going to set up in my garage. I know you are using Apple TV. I have done a lot of research on this, and am wondering if this is a simple set up. I am pretty tech savvy. Do I need an ANT+ dongle for this? Thanks for any advice and good luck this season!

[@TeamSaundersTri]

Sweet! Keep us posted on your experience. The great thing about this setup with AppleTV is you only need the Zwift Hub One, AppleTV with the Zwift app and a phone/tablet with the Zwift Companion App. No extra devices or dongles needed. In fact, everything pairs through the trainer - even a heart rate monitor! It’s very seamless and stable. Highly recommend this setup.

Word. I am excited!@@TeamSaundersTri

[@cnaustin1]

Great video, thanks for sharing your pain cave. What are the floor fan specs, the Home Depot purchase please?

[@TeamSaundersTri]

Thanks for watching! We hope it provides some inspiration. This is a similar fan to what we have. It’s probably a more updated model since we’ve had ours for a few years. www.homedepot.com/p/Lasko-Pro-Performance-High-Velocity-Pivoting-Blower-Fan-4905/202185788

Thanks so much!

@@TeamSaundersTri something to consider with the fans (if you don't already) is to plug them into smart plugs to be able to turn on off either via app on phone, alexa/google etc, and/or maybe with some automation have them come on automatically after a few minutes of a delay (give time to warm up a little and then come on during your ride).

[@TeamSaundersTri]

@DavidC-rt3or - Ah yes! Thanks for the reminder. It’s on the list of things to get to and inevitably gets put on the back burner for one reason or another. Definitely a great suggestion!
