Hello!! Today Iโm talking to Paul Huddle, author, triathlete, radio host and currently heโs the Senior Regional Director with Rock N Roll Marathon series and IRONMAN โ which includes the big west coast Rock N Roll racesโฆArizona, Las Vegas and San Diego. San Diego is this weekend and weโre getting a peek into whatโs itโs like behind the scenes race week! AND he shares a SECRET discount code you can use at the expo!! I had no idea he was going to do that โ so Iโm just kind of quietly surprised and quickly type it out as heโs sharing it. So the code will be on Run Eat Repeat if ya want to run this weekend!!
If youโre new hereโฆ Iโm Monica, I started Run Eat Repeat.com as a training and diet log before my first marathon. All I wanted to do was lose 20 pounds and run 1 full marathon. Wellโฆ I lost that weight and have run over 30 full marathons and over 50 half marathons! And the site has turned into an amazing community online! Thanks for listening. For more check out the site Run Eat Repeat.com and follow me on Instagram @RunEatRepeat for the latest updates and to check in with your workout for today!!
2 New Book Reviews
Iโve been going through audio books like theyโre watermelon so want to share a few before I forgetโฆ
Duped: Double Lives, False Identities and the Con Man I Almost Married by Abby Ellin
– 3 shoes
The author was on Happier with Gretchen Rubin. Theyโre friends.
I actually donโt think I loved the authorโฆ she was a lil dramatic and it made it more obvious to me that the book isnโt dramatic. I want it to be dramatic!!
She talks about people who have lied, been lied to in BIG ways. And her story sounds super interesting! I wish it would have been more like a podcast! Her story was like the one from Dirty Johnโฆ this guy lies and puts on this big song and dance to con woman.
Sheโs a writer and she experienced it first handโฆ but she kinda just tells her experience in a nutshell instead of walking us through what it was actually like. Again meh.
I donโt really recommend it and only finished listening to it because I wanted to give ya my thoughts.
Ladies Who Punch by Ramin Setoodeh
– 4 shoesโฆ (or 3.5? I’m changing my mind since I’ve read a lot of awesome books lately)
- Entertaining. Reminded me more of a podcast than a book. I feel like it jumped around a lil bit.
- Fast listenโฆ I went through the whole thing pretty quickly so Iโd recommend it if you like real life / BTS kinda stories.
- Gossipy – I didnโt like that it seemed gossipy. I think thereโs a difference between telling a story as a neutral backstage account to document something that happened and telling a story that seems to paint certain people as good or bad.
I donโt think a book about a talk show with only male hosts would be as focused on lil fights and give the same vibe. There seem to be legitimate reasons that some of the hosts fought or were hard to get along with. Iโm not saying donโt share the drama. Iโm saying it focused a lot on what seemed like petty fights. The show has been around for years – I feel like there has to be a lot of happy friendly stories. We heard ONE.
- Reviews didnโt like that the author read it but I think itโs was okay. I donโt usually seek out reviews but that caught my attention for some reason. Heโs obviously not a professional but luckily the bad review made me set the bar low and I thought he sounded fine – again kind of like it was a podcast so it was easy breezy.ย
- Recommend it for people who like pop-culture & podcasts.
Paul Huddle Rock N Roll Marathon Series and IRONMAN Senior Regional Director interview
Paul Huddle โ is a former pro-triathlete turned coach and is now Senior Regional Director with Rock N Roll Marathon series and IRONMAN. He has a ton of experience both competing in endurance racing and organizing the events. I could have talked to him for hours! Today we focused on how he went from athlete to executive and some of the work that goes into organizing a race.

I also put out a call for questions but it was a little last minute so next time Iโll give you more time to askโฆ
Join the Run Eat Repeat Podcast Group here so we have a place to ask questions and just hang out.
BONUS:ย At the end Paul shares a last minute discount code for Rock N Roll San Diego!! So check it out and use it at the expo if you want to join.ย
Check out all the races and more information on the Rock N Roll Marathon series here!ย
And here is the Last Minute Discount Code for San Diego!
You can use it at the expo โ make sure you use it if youโre putting your info in on a computer at the expo and/or mention it to whoever is helping you register. (Iโve registered at the expo before and think I remember you have to put your info in on an ipad and then someone gives you a bib. Iโm not sure if you do it when you input your info or when you pay.)

Awards:
1. Races that give discount codesโฆ and sites that give free shipping. Love. Check out my Race Discounts for more!
