About this episode
This one meanders a bit, but then gets into actionable Ironman racing strategies. How physical meets mental throughout the day. When/if to turn up the bike, and how to think about your marathon. We get into training harder than you should race and how that translates into mile by mile strategy. We also talk about how to tackle your "B-Race" and why the results shouldn't fool you. We talk about peaking at the right time, how you should feel out of the swim and off the bike, and playing the Ironman "run game." It's all about nailing the first 135 miles. Topics: Musselman talk Post Race Food The problem with "reviews" The year of deferrals Condensed racing schedules Assuming we're better than we were last year What hurts a triathletes performance Pacing, nutrition, and transitions Practicing harder than the game The B-Race as a Crystal Ball??
