  • Oceanside Recap, Controversial DQs, & Burnouts
    Apr 8 2026

    Diving into Carolyn’s Oceanside recap today - they cover what happened on the bike and all things race day. They also dive into the recent controversy that happened with a popular running influencer at his first half ironman (Michelle gets Carolyn’s take on the whole thing). Michelle has a bad experience with The Feed (spoiler - it was a blood bath) and they also touch on gravel bikes (covering Carolyn’s two new bikes in her rotation), toenails, the London marathon, melasma, and more (not a super gross episode, so Michelle’s mom might like that).

  • Mallorca Miles, Race Prep, & Moving Updates
    Mar 31 2026

    This week Carolyn takes us to Mallorca and brings us along for the full cycling adventure. From travel logistics and athlete packing struggles to taking on some big boi climbs, she shares what it is actually like to train and ride in one of the most iconic cycling destinations.

    She gets into race prep, nutrition strategies, and gear choices, along with the little things no one warns you about when traveling as an endurance athlete. There are highs, there are lows, there are ants in the hotel room, and yes, there are saddle sores.
