  Episode 10: Eastbourne Tri - The Good, The Bad & The Waffle

  Aug 4, 202655 min

  In this episode of RIM Waffle, Dave, Cliff and Sam sit down to relive the Eastbourne Triathlon—from the nerves before the start to the finish line and everything in between. We compare what we expected with what actually happened, chat through the swim, bike and run, the mistakes we made, what surprised us most, and the lessons we'll be taking into the next stage of the Ironman Wales journey. As always, it's not polished, it's not perfect... it's just three mates talking honestly about triathlon, training and trying to get a little bit better.
