I sit down with Pro Triathlete John Hirsch and talk about everything that goes into going pro and his training camp Strong like Bull

After toughman we all headed back to the house for wayward triathletes had a couple of beers and i sat everyone down for a post race interview.  i wanted to get that energy and true feeling about how a triathlete feels right after a race.  

This is Holisticgurus post race interview.  if you have not read her race report you need to go over to www.liveandeatbetter.com  and check out her blog.  she is an absolutely amazing person and i felt honored to have her be my AR and destroy me at toughman.

During my interview with John Hirsch, (soon to be released) I asked him for 1 piece of advice to give to an agegrouper like myself. What he said blew my mind and spawned this episode. It’s a simple statement and a very true statement. GO EASY on your easy days. Look back at your season how many easy days did you actually go easy and how many easy days did you go medium to hard?

My race report for my Half Ironman up in NY, great time with a great race. Thanks to HFWT they treated me with so much kindness and generosity i will always be in their dept.

Listen to me rant and rave and show the general insanity that hits a triathlete during a taper for his A race!

The show is back and i talk about the things to come and what you can now expect!

The Trial has been over for a while.  Come see how i felt about the trial and how i brought my body back to the real world.

Apologize for the delay but it is finally done. SIMPLY STU INTERVIEW! I will say that I had edited this video 4 times and it never felt right every time I did. Stu is one of the reasons I got into podcasting and did not want to make this interview look bad because of editing. So instead you will have to listen to me gush like a school girl as I interview stu. I hope you like it!

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND, well back anyways.  The typical podcast format me talking about, Day 9 of the trial, www.Liveandeatbetter.com, my latest runs, 60 mile bike ride in the hot hot sun. along with the upcoming Simply Stu interview (www.simplystu.com)

THE TRIAL

Todays Podcast explains what the trial is and why i am doing it.  read a longer explanation at www.ironmanbobby.com/the-trial  also catch up on daily updates at www.ironmanbobby.com/the-trial-daily-updates

Also thanks to everyone for your emails i hope i have been able to answer all of your questions and please send me more! my email is Ropierce@gmail.com

Christine Lynch sat down with me on my last trip up to NYC and shared her story about getting into Triathlon. www.liveandeatbetter.com

Thanks to the glory that is twitter i was able to meet a guy named Speedy Sasquatch. He was in town to do the Cherry Blossom 10miler in Washington DC. the day before the race he was kind enough along with his friend bill to sit down with me in the Dupont Circle Starbucks and chat about himself for 1.5 hours.

The Audio is not the best because i am still learning with my new camera, also the video is not the best because i have to compress it in order to get the file size down low enough so it will fit in my Libsyn cap. Both of these things should be fixed in time.

Please injoy the interview i think it came out well, i learned a lot from Speedy Sasquatch during our discussion i hope you will as well.

this is the first podcast with the Flip Video HD sound is not great but i am going to try and record in my closet that should have less echo and allow me to talk louder while recording.

i am also looking into getting final cut express to edit the movies together right now i am using imovie which is great but i want to do so much more now that i have dont this much, apple is great with the gateway drug!

Episode 13 of the trying to be amazing podcast, trying to catch everyone up on the past 21 days of training

Its been two weeks time to catch back up and kick myself in the ass a little

Very angry at my shoes!

Another week another podcast

Sorry for the delay, the recap of the last weeks workouts nothing really special hence the delay!

Missed workouts, winning a race, whipping it out, and trying to make the video quality look better with different lighting.  tried to use my friends camera and the sound did not seem to want to come into Ivideo so such is life i had to do it in 3 takes but the kick is it was better after the 3rd take lots less ums and likes so maybe i should do it in multiple tries because you do multiple drafts of other things so why not this.

Episode 7, its been a couple of days took some time off for my birthday but its tuesday and already 3 workouts are in the bag.  however i do feel creeky and tired.  will see what happens.

bob

Not going to bed at time and getting stuck at work and missing workout. o the slippery slope starts!

Turbo workout, fun times almost getting a gold star and much much more!

Its been a couple of days and this is the recap, the importance of having a training partner.

Episode 1 of my Show, still working on the format i think 3 min is going to be the time best set for this format.  if i actually get some structure to the show then i might extend it to 5 min

The first episode on my little show
