Joanna had an amazing start to her season this year, with a win at a non-drafting triathlon in Australia. In our half hour chat we find out how she is investing her time while at home. Fellow Zwifters, look out!

We also talk about the role of sponsors for her and other elite athletes.

To wrap up the program we have another Between The Ears segment. This week, Dr. Elise Reeh offers some advice on how to deal with our current reality from a psychological perspective by preventing Hamster Brain.
