This is a different episode because we merge the Follow Along with a race episode. It’s been a bit busy in my life.  I’ve been wrapping up my undergrad and with finals, I’ve had quite a bit going on.  I have plenty of episodes to put out soon, so stay tuned!  Sam is doing well, and in this episode we talk about how a crash two weeks out from his race allows him to refocus and recharge going into St. George.  He also has some amazing workouts that he did going into St. George and we discuss how his training discipline is high and how the DNF at Oceanside ignited a fire that left him hungry and ready to push hard for the remainder of the season.  If you aren’t following Sam, you should be.  He’s going to be one of the best triathletes in the sport in the near future. Thank you Sam for coming back on the show and I look forward to seeing you this weekend at Chattanooga!
