Ted KingGuestLaura KingGuestJulianaHostThank you.
Uh, so most people know Ted and Laura, the cyclists, but there's also Ted and Laura, the parents, business partners, podcast hosts, and somehow functioning adults.
What does a completely normal day in the King household actually look like, and how much of it involves bikes?

Um, I would say that virtually every day revolves around the bicycle in some way or another.

Um, so we, we-- There's a lot of, there's a lot of communication that needs not be said.

I mean, one thing we've certainly learned in marriage is that communication is key, but it's understood that we both will want to get on the bike, we'll want to put in our time training.

Um, so you know, it, it is worth pointing out if, to Laura, if I have a big day coming up, and I'll try to say, "Hey, in two, three days, whatever it is, I'd like to try to log a five-hour day." Um, I feel like as time passes, the volume of training has certainly decreased.

Um, the obligations off the bike have increased considerably, be it with Untapped or communicating with sponsors and, and sort of the, the off bike, slightly less glamorous side of being a, a independent contractor.

Um, so yeah, it's sort of, it's the unwritten knowledge that we both wanna get our, our rides in, and so that makes it a common denominator of the day.
In terms of a typical day, this is the first year both of our kids have started school, so we do have, um, the increased window, but still very short feel, short-feeling window of, you know, the kind of 8:00 to 5:00-- or sorry, 8:00 to 3:00, um, where we're kind of packing in everything that we need to do, which includes work obligations, riding obligations, and if we need to kind of go beyond that, then we're asking each other to f- you know, flex in some way.
Uh, and I think for the most part, um, yeah, we try to just have equal balance in where we can, and then also just, um, help each other out when someone has a goal that's big or, uh, something where, you know, we need to chip in a little bit more.

And then there's also the-- I mean, yeah, I realize we're diving more into the day of, day by day of what a typical day looks like.

Um, Laura will spend more time with the kids in the morning doing Hazel's hair, getting the kids dressed.

Um, yeah, we'll always alternate who is gonna be, one person will drop off, one k- one person will pick up.

Um, the, a lot of the just household chores and parenting chores get, I would say allotted very evenly.

Um, and some I do exclusively, Laura will do exclusively, and others, you know, you just, you unders- it's understood that we'll, uh, alternate.
Thank you.
