Simply Triathlon with Dina & Chris
Welcome to the Simply Triathlon Podcast and thanks so much for listening!
We're Dina & Chris, a couple of age group triathletes, coaches, and fitness enthusiasts. Our goal is to share our knowledge and experience in triathlon, nutrition, epic races, lessons learned, fun stuff, hard stuff, bizarre stuff, and more!
Dina Grimaldi is a triathlon coach, nutrition coach, and personal trainer who followed her dad's footsteps in picking up triathlon. She quickly found out that it's not all that cool to be the first person out of the water, because it just means everybody and their mother is going to pass you on the bike.
Chris Kopcha is a triathlon coach, nutrition coach, personal trainer, and yoga teacher who kind of stumbled into the world of fitness after deciding to change careers after spending 10 years as a teacher. Coming into the sport of triathlon as a runner, she found it's been a great lesson in patience at the pool so as not to have to make up so much time on the bike and run.
Enjoy!!
**We do drop the occasional expletive; be aware if sensitive or listening around kids!**

OVERRATED/UNDERRATED: Recovery Edition
In this episode, we take on a new theme - "overrated" vs "underrated" - and the topic is recovery.
What recovery techniques actually work, and what's not worth your time and money? Are greens powders and other supplements effective? Do you really need as much sleep as you've heard? Should you be stretching as much as you can? And more!
Check it out and hear our thoughts on where we recommend you direct your focus to get the best out of your recovery!
(Please excuse the slight background noise during the latter part of the episode; there was an unanticipated lawnmower or some outdoor equipment in use near Chris's house.)
