Straight off the first WTCS race of the year in Uzbekistan (and still jet-lagged!), Olympian Kirsten Kasper comes on the show to tell us all about what goes down in the pack and how she got her start being recruited to tri out of college.

• How the inaugural WTCS Samarkand played out
• Balancing draft-legal race — and the constant points chase! — with trying to get a T100 ranking and wildcard
• Coming back from labrum surgery even when she thought her career might be over
• Why she eats so much during races now — and how she wish she'd eaten more sooner in her career

If you're curious about all the ins and outs of World Tri racing, this one's for you.
