And we are back with Ep, 219 starting with Justin and ending with Marty. Truth be told; I'm happy just sitting back and listening to them talk (and it gets me off camera as well)!

Topics? Berlin, Chicago, Heavy Weights, Blaming Electrolytes, Evidence Based Research, and how we almost lost Marty forever at Naperville Running Co.

Available wherever you pod. If you enjoy this or any other episode, tell a friend! Thank you all fo your support and be sure to keep Chafing the Dream!

Three ladies and a host.

Debby, Lisa, and Michelle come on to discuss their journeys to becoming Triathletes. It's very obvious these ladies are on a roll and the sky's the limit for what they do together next!

What do all those have in common? Well, you need to listen to our latest podcast to understand. Marty tells the story of his performance at Grandma's Marathon and this episode does not disappoint.

There's big changes at The Flying Pig Project and a new website launching in a few days! Be on the lookout!

With that, welcome to our new official podcast, Chafing the Dream! Making you scream in the shower since 2026.

Such a funny intro!

Big deal getting this one out before Marty's race next weekend at Grandma's Marathon!

We talk about his pacing at the Illinois Marathon at the end of April and also my experience at the Flying Pig in Cincinnati .

Now, that's a band name.

You bet I'm going to come out swinging with this episode after a slight break. Kevin and I had quite the conversation needed for this hopefully soon-to-be triathloner. It took a few weeks to finally get this edited but so worth the wait.

Lots of piggy snorts listening to this one; and maybe don't listen in front of the kids.

Just off volunteering and running two races in eight days, this is solo episode where I describe experiences at two very different races from two completely different vantage points.

Do you prefer big races? Small ones? To each their own, right?

As always, thank you for supporting The Flying Pig Project and Start Lines and Swag Bags!

Big accountabilibuddy episode.

Rachael talks about her experience at her 2nd indoor Tri and Marty updates about his training.

Rachael was tasked with editing this one. Not sure that should ever happen again. LOL

Well, we're back and we both have stories to tell!

Big intermediate milestones for both but you'll have to decide which was worse: the wind of Lake Michigan or putting bike shorts on wet legs.
