Paula races Canadian TT Nationals, is your triathlon bike fitter gaslighting you, imposter syndrome, and more!

Paula is back from Canadian Time Trial Nationals. After an emergency landing in Grand Junction, a missed connection through Toronto, arriving at 9am the morning before the race, and a full day pressure. Nick podiums third overall at San Diego International Triathlon, feeling breathless the whole time. We get into it. Then we launch the official TTL Eddington Number Challenge (with a gift card prize), debut the Lake Placid limited edition merch, and answer your questions.

This week we discussed:

• Paula's Canadian Time Trial Nationals recap: emergency plane landing, 24-hour travel saga, going off first in a field of competitors, and still riding onto the podium
• The complicated relationship between triathlon athletes and national cycling federations
• Nick's San Diego International Triathlon recap: third overall, why being too fresh can still leave you breathless, and why it felt harder than the numbers showed
• The official TTL Eddington Number Challenge: submit your cycling Eddington number in miles on Instagram for a chance to win a TTL gift card equal to your number
• Lake Placid limited edition poster, t-shirt, and hats: how to get yours before race day
• Combating imposter syndrome in triathlon, what to do when you earned the slot but don't feel like you belong
• TT bike saddle discomfort: when your bike fitter blames your bibs (and whether they might have a point)
• The best pocket camera for riding: Ricoh GR vs. phone vs. GoPro
• Has T100 paid its athletes? Paula addresses the Lucy Charles-Barclay question directly
• What would you do if you knew your next race was your last? A moving question from Jason, who's hanging up the tri kit after Ironman Oregon 70.3
