This episode dives into the race-week storylines shaping Boise 70.3 as three hosts head to the Pro Series event. Garrick celebrates new dad life and shares a memorable delivery story about baby Ophelia, Nick recaps a wild Vegas birthday weekend and his training rebound, and Lisa breaks down race-week prep amid oppressive heat and regional smoke. The crew dissects the biggest narratives — Jackson vs. Ari, how heat and air quality could alter tactics, and which pros to watch after Ironman Lake Placid — while swapping training takes, recovery notes, and weekend logistics (including a planned post-race river float).

Highlights:

  • Garrick’s unforgettable delivery and first week with Ophelia
  • Boise 70.3 race-week storylines: contenders, strategies, and environmental variables
  • Reactions to Lake Placid results and emerging pro form
  • Training, recovery, and run-mileage debates among the pros
  • Weekend plans, travel logistics, and contingency fun if the race changes
