Kona race week, Paula is calm and the boys are not, washboard gravel roads, backing out on a race with a friend, and more!

Just the boys this week. We're recording live from Kona, a couple of days before Paula toes the line at the Ironman World Championship. Eric and Nick recap the week so far, including the TTL Donut Run, which brought out some familiar faces including Flora Duffy, Heather Jackson, and Jodie Stimpson. Then listener submitted questions.

This week we discussed:
