With Black Friday and Cyber Monday just gone and Christmas on the way, this month's episode dives into the potentially pricey world of triathlon gear. We look at swim-bike-run essentials, and separate the nice-to-haves from the must-haves. ATAC member Brian Goode joins us to share his triathlon journey and explain his approach to buying new gear. Plus, there's the usual news and rants, some additional beard chat and a top new jingle!
