Jeff, Eric and Dean get together over some drinks for this all-off-season episode. First we debate various training faux-pas, including running in place at stop lights, then discuss the merits of alternative race organizations. Ultimately we answer all of your off-season questions and, well, fall off the wagon a bit too.
