(creaking door)
- Mornin' trainiacs.
Day two of the QT2 Systems Pro-Triathlon Camp,
and as it was described by Jesse Kropelnicki,
today's pro workout is gonna leave a mark.
Hey Mel.
(knocking on door)
(upbeat techno music)
Mornin'.
You got this baby all spic and span for us?
- Well (back-up beeping on truck).
- Oh, your stuff's custom too.
- Climb on in.
(techno beats)
- So the gang is currently out doing like,
a group of about 15, 17, pros,
doing open water swim training.
We got like Linsey Corbin, Jeanni Seymour, Angela Naeth,
Justin Metzler, Alicia Kaye, Jarrod Schumacher,
and being the bashful person that I am,
I'm gonna get in to my Speedo,
and grab the GoPro and go out
and get some real tight action shots.
- Ready, hup!
(techno beats)
- And then we'll regroup,
we're gonna do six rounds of that, okay?
Six rounds.
(techno beat music)
- Gettin' anything good in there?
(rushing water)
Looks really cool.
(techno beat music)
So Jesse, you wanna walk us through
what's about to happen with the workout?
- Ya, we're gonna do about a five hour ride,
and we're gonna do four hours
of 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off,
basically best sustainable effort.
So it's a pretty solid session.
Usually throughout camp we make the sessions
more and more aerobic as we go,
so we'll start pretty short repeats with higher rest
for higher muscle tension.
And then as camp goes on,
we generally make it more race-specific,
which means more aerobic for most of our folks,
given the long course.
So, just a little background behind the session.
- Just an easy five hours?
- Ya, an easy five hours (laughing).
- You fuckin' serious?
- Back here we got about
70 liters of Gatorade
and various nutrition products.
- Ya, half the job is water-boy.
- Water-boy? (laughing)
Head coach and water-boy.
You should put that on LinkedIn.
(dramatic halting orchestral music)
- Alright, rock and roll!
(dramatic orchestral music with beats)
Alligators?
Got a gator?
- She's ready for us.
- Oh, is that one?
(dramatic orchestral music with beats)
So, how's things goin'?
- It's warm, there's gators,
need some beat-performer
for high-performance video shooting.
How's it goin' for you?
- I'm gator wrangling.
- And gator wrangling.
- Beat juice for gator wrangling.
- It's very beat-y,
there's a lot of beat in there.
Alright there you go.
- That's more the type.
(beat music with horns)
- It's all sandy.
(beat music with horns)
Freeze the last couple?
- No just the last one.
- Okay.
(beat music with horns and synth)
How's it goin' Mel?
Feeling like doing a triathlon yet?
- No.
- Well that was fun.
Very nice.
- It was great.
- Good crew.
We lost a drone.
- But we found gators.
Oh, that was a big,
fun day.
Little bit of hydrogen peroxide,
I'll explain.
So we got, according to this, oh ah ooh,
76 gigs of video footage,
slow-mo, ooh,
that is tingly.
Slow-mo, regular speed, and photos.
I kill myself to get the shots for you guys.
Look at this.
(atomizer whooshing)
So the gang did a one hour open water swim,
like, pack starts, really big intense bursts of speed
to simulate the start,
and the open water swimming
with pack-tactics being around you.
Then they went out for a five hour bike ride,
and after about a 45 minute warm-up,
they then went out
and started doing 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off,
20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.
And the on was like, as hard as you can go
for the next four hours without the power dipping.
Then, they went and did a 35 minute recovery run.
Big day, very big day.
I told you it was gonna be a big day,
and it was a big day.
Three very fun highlights:
I swam out to get that GoPro footage
of being right in the middle of the pack,
and I did not get dropped,
like, I was a buoy tied to the bottom of the lake.
Speedo's make you faster.
Next thing, Linsey Corbin pushed 260 watts
for 20 minutes in the very last 20 minute section
at the end of a five hour ride.
That's crazy, she's tiny, 260 watts!
That'd be like me doing 340, like that's crazy.
And finally, I lost a drone.
And we worked really hard to try to get it out of the trees.
The things I do for you guys.
I was climbin' buoys out there,
sent the drone off in to space,
tryin' to get a good shot of Jeanni Seymour.
Never to be seen again, but we tried really hard
to get it down and got really cut up in the process.
So now, I start editing pictures.
Mel starts editing tomorrow's video.
And I do it all again tomorrow.
And when people in the area end up messaging me,
when you see that I'm traveling, I'm sorry,
like you see how busy the day is,
basically I've been up since 5:30,
it is 4:50 now, and then we still have
to do probably two, three hours of work.
So, it's like jam-packed.
I'm sorry I can't meet more of you
while I'm down here and travel.
Alright, I gotta get to work.
Later, trainiacs.
