Managing your training and relationships can be tough and Team Wurtele give their tips on making it work! They have a very interesting story and now live and travel in their RV. They discuss training together, supporting each other at races and even who does the cooking!

Outstanding interview! This video was delightful. The part that struck me the most was that they both have the same sense of humor. I thought that was beautiful.
