- You want your body to be
freaking out going, oh my god.
Huge week of training camp.
Good day, train-iacs.
I said good day.
Morning, train-iacs,
after last weeks complete
bash-fest of a training
camp with Coach Bath
back at the pool for a real
recovery style workout.
Watch how easy this is.
Step one to the first few workouts
after a huge week of training camp.
Floaty pants.
Step two, all available pool toys.
(pop music)
Step three is to get out of the pool
twenty three minutes after you started.
Write all that down, those
are really good tips.
Hold the frickin' phone here train-iacs.
Is he serious?
Orange kick boards?
We got some orange kick board
testing to do later this week.
(pop music)
So yeah train-iacs,
typically when you finish up
a big training weekend,
a big training block
that's coming up right either say,
at the start of a training plan
like we did just now building
into Ironman Austin 70.3
at the end of two-and-a-half
months from now,
you wanna like absolutely
overload your body.
You want your body to be freaking out,
going oh my god, the only way
that I can possibly keep up
with this jerk doing this to me
is to get stronger and faster.
So after that training camp,
right now, I get two to three days off.
So what we want is my
body to completely recover
and soak up all that work
that we just put it through.
Now speaking of soaking,
it's a wet suit, eh.
Now for the past year I've
been using Huub Wetsuit,
Huub SwimSkins, Huub Tri
Suits, never any problems.
And then magically somebody made a comment
about a month ago that they had heard
that Huub products weren't the toughest.
And I was like "Nah, man, I
like Huub. Everything's good."
and then the Wetsuit
started falling apart.
And then we swam like the
dickens out at training camp,
and this thing just disintegrated.
So what we're gonna try to do is
see if I can repair this
with a needle and thread
and a little bit of Wetsuit goop.
I'm not optimistic.
Delicious thread.
Why it's important to not have
cuts and holes in your suit
is because the more
water your suit carries
the more it acts like basically a sail
that it's gonna scoop water,
and it's gonna slow you down.
So ideally you want a suit
as tight as you can possibly get it.
Oh, thread, thread, thread.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
As tight as you can possibly get it
while not making it
restrictive in your shoulders.
You still need mobility.
What I'm gonna try to do
is just lightly stitch
and not overlap anything.
Basically just get it to the
point of being like, flush
along the tear without tightening it
and then after I do that,
we'll come in with this
and seal it up, because neoprene tears
if you make it too tight, apparently.
Trust me folks, I have sewn
at least four things in my life before.
So I am who you wanna listen
to about sewing things.
(pop music)
Alright now
now that that's all done,
I think we put a little
bit of cement on there
and see if we can seal this baby up.
How's my hair now?
Awful, great.
So now what's gonna happen
with this line of cement
is that it looks bubbly now
but it'll end up settling as it drys.
And you never wanna put cement
on the inside of a wet suit
because it's gonna have rough edges.
Like all along here, it's
gonna end up being rough
and if you put that on
the inside of your wetsuit
you're gonna get cut up, son.
You get cut.
So what we do is we just put
it all along where we want,
let it settle as it drys, come back,
give it one more layer of this stuff,
and then, hopefully, that seals it all in
and the threads keep it nice and tight.
And then I'll have to do
the same here, and there.
It's just in tatters right now.
Tatters.
Sorry, Huub.
And if you haven't seen
the full video that I did
about how to repair a wetsuit,
just like little fingernail cuts,
I will link that,
I think I did it maybe a month or two ago,
right up there.
Yeah, train-iacs, I
actually just sent away
an email wondering about
where the fuzz this thing was.
You know you're a YouTuber when you've got
a dangerously sharp knife
and your opening boxes.
(grunts)
(cardboard rustling)
Holy smokes, package inside a package.
And then the package is a package.
Devilish hobbits with strong fingernails
ended up tying this thing up.
So this train-iacs, is a Biknd
Helium, I think, V4 bike box.
When I was going around with
Nichole Walker in Campeche
was what she had.
Meanwhile, I had their jet pack.
And this thing's just so light that she's
going through the airport
with like one finger
just rolling it around.
And if you remember, me,
these hands were all swollen.
And I'm like, (grunts) rolling mine around
because this has wheels
on the front and the back
just like luggage, so wheels around.
Fits two sets of wheels.
So you can bring your racing wheels
and your training wheels.
And then what happens is
the bike actually gets like
settled into this air
bladder that you blow up
and that's what keeps
it all safe and secure.
So they're not paying me to say this
but they did send this
to me so thanks, Biknd
Bike-ND, Bike-kind, Bekind, Be Kind,
sounds like behind, I
love a good behind joke.
And I reached out to them
because I was watching
Nichole Walker just scoot
around the airport effortlessly
and I was so impressed with this
so stay tuned two months from now
when I go to Ironman Austin 70.3,
I'll tell you how to
pack one of these babies.
Now, k, I gotta show you the
results of said wetsuit repair.
Alright all patched up,
let's give this a shot.
Oh, yeah.
Well, let's take a look.
That one, oh, everything's
good there, no more rips.
There, seems to be okay.
That, oh.
That already ripped.
Hm, it's better, but it's not great.
It's kind of the thing
about these high end
like, three mil thick wetsuits,
is that they're like tissue paper,
but I've never seen one
fall apart like this.
Huub, please correct
me if I got a dud here.
This is also a lesson in
repairing wetsuit tears early on.
However, this literally
just started a few days ago,
and then after swimming in
it like, bam, turn that long.
Sad, sad.
Alright train-iacs, I'm gonna go give
that another application of goop
and we're gonna call this
first day back a real success.
What do you say?
What do you say?
Good day train-iacs, I said good day.
(pop music)
I take all of that back.
Everything is ripped apart
as I'm taking it off.
Come on, wetsuit.
