Paula is racing the Canadian National Time Trial Championships, so it's a bro pod, especially when Ari Klau calls in live from O'Hare Airport after his first-ever 70.3 win at Mont-Tremblant to finally explain the shoe phone celebration that baffled the entire internet. We also break down a deceptively addictive cycling metric, answer your bike tech questions, and get into open water swimming in rough conditions.

- When to switch from road bike to TT bike in your race build, Ari and Eric weigh in
- Sharing one wheel set between a TT bike and road bike: does it actually work?
- How to keep your bottles cold in transition
- Swimming in choppy open water: Eric's technique advice
- The most minimalist race belt options, including the shoelace method and the Nerd Belt
