Today Russ and Keith have the pleasure to interview Brett Blankner of the Zen and the Art of Triathlon podcast. Brett comes to chat about the SOS triathlon. This is a crazy/fun 8 stage triathlon where Brett swims with his shoes, runs through trails with bears, jumps fences, navigates shear drops into a lake and deals with nutrition issues. Definitely one of our most fun interviews to date – this show is a must listen!

• 
  
• Cramping and swimming
  
• Nutrition and gut distress
  
• Shooting for a PR
  

….and more

The Iron Baby – Brett discusses this a bit on the show. Its his self-supported iron distance race for charity. Great stuff

Zen Tri Base Camp – A camp for triathletes where Brett brings in experts in all fields to immerse people in the art of Triathlon.

We also referred to a piece of gear called The Kiefer Safer Swim Buoy. While Brett did not use it in the SOS Triathlon it might be a good option for this race as well as being a great piece of gear for Open water swimming.

We want to thank our awesome sponsors Once Again Nut Butter and Amrita Health Foods. Russ and Keith are big believers in fueling with whole foods. Amrita bars and Once Again Nut butters allow us to do that while we race as well as support our everyday nutrition. Check out their websites for more information on where to purchase these products.
