This morning I was a guest on the Simon Gowen Triathlon Show, at http://www.latalkradio.com/Simon.php. I went though a swim workout geared towards helping triathletes in detail. It’s an inspirational weekly show that focuses on the mental side of triathlon, with professional triathletes, coaches, and age groupers who have overcome huge obstacles. This morning I was followed by pro triathlete Dirk Bockel, and then running & triathlon coach Patricia Anglano. The shows are 50 minutes long and Simon does a great job!

The show with my interview will be posted soon, to subscribe to Simon’s podcast click here.
