Episode notes
Speaker 3
Is that it? I don't know. Well, what we really need to do is just ask for, whomever
Speaker 2
is listening right now. I've tried. It doesn't lodge in my long-term memory though. Send us a voice memo. I've had many people say it properly. And then for whatever reason, I can't do it. I think once you get to a certain age, you lose that ability. That part of your brain just
Speaker 1
gets switched off. Even hearing it last March on Catalina enough. Right. From Americans saying it properly. I still don't remember. Right. So here we are, ugly Americans. You're doing November? You're doing Catalina in November?
Speaker 3
With my brother.
Speaker 1
Right on.
Speaker 3
Are you doing the full one?
Speaker 1
No, we're doing the sprint.
Speaker 2
The sprint.
Speaker 3
It won't be the same, right? The sprint is not the same experience. I
Speaker 2
don't know. It's an experience. Whiplash with the, I did the sprint. No, I did the middle one, didn't I? I don't remember. I think I did the middle one. There's a short one, a middle one. Yeah, I think I did the middle one. I was gonna do the long one with Mark, but then he had a timing thing and we, for whatever reason, like we couldn't do it. And then I was grateful because I realized that the middle one was hard enough. Yeah. That island is no joke.
Speaker 3
I'm just gonna pretend it's the long way. Yeah, when I told my brother about what we actually need to be training for, getting like slippery rocks and whatever. And he was like, oh yeah, I'll find those around here. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky. All right, Clark. And I mean, he's committed. My brother is a competitor though. So we're
Speaker 2
gonna be- Right, which is why it seems like you should do a lot, the longer the better. That's what I think. Yeah. We probably should. There's not a lot of slippery rocks in Catalina. I was just thinking it's
Speaker 1
mainly beaches.
Speaker 2
Yeah, there's hills, but it's more traditional trail running. It's not as technical as Sweden by a long shot. Like, yeah, it was completely different. I mean, it was hard, the terrain was tough, but it wasn't like mountain, like orienteering, or you're not trudging through fogs. Through the forest. Yeah, like falling down on your butt on slippery rocks. Like that wasn't part of it, but- It may be part of mine. And it wasn't, and we, maybe it was just the day, but it was super hot out. Like I was overheated the entire time. I was wishing I had either a sleeveless or just did it without a wetsuit. Yeah,
Speaker 3
November. I mean, it's hot. Yeah. What's the water temp?
Speaker 1
The water will go up. I mean, the water will be a lot warmer than March. Like 68 to 70. I would keep that in mind. I was so happy to get back in
Speaker 2
the water and cool down because the running definitely overheated me. And that was the biggest challenge, like being overheated, trying to run up trails like steep hills.
Speaker 1
The run segments were also different than the traditional Attilo in Sweden that we did. Oh,
Speaker 2
way different.
Speaker 1
They were longer and you're more exposed. There were more in a forest and shorter in and out of water. You do these 200-meter runs and then 200-meter swim and then 300-meter run and 100-meter swim. So that was definitely different in Catalina. But he also, what was it? Michael warned us, it's a lot harder than it looks. And Catalina was. The long course really surprised me as my partner is just pulling me along. I got the reverse effect. He was just like, what are you doing, Chris? I'm like, this is way harder than I thought. Andy Blow from Precision Hydration. So, and he's quite an athlete himself and former pro triathlete.
Speaker 2
That's an unusual, uncomfortable experience for you. Yes. To get pulled.
Speaker 1
The apology is that- That's what
Speaker 2
I was doing to you the whole time. So sorry, I'm holding you back. Just go ahead, leave me, leave me.
