In this episode we talk about post-covid recovery and slow return to training, trips to the dump, Garmin watch screens, preparation for Emma's Outlaw full ironman, encountering dogs whilst training and embarrassing children at parents evenings.
This week Tri Parenting talks about whether it's a good idea to bring children to triathlon events, about both ironman and ironing sessions, race plans, race reports, covid woes and general chit chat.
