The episode discusses Mike's spontaneous decision to register for Rockford 70.3 and the insights gained from participating in a race without a typical training build-up.
The guys discuss Mike's last minute registration for Rockford 70.3 and the concept of jumping into a race on a whim. They go through the challenges but mostly the benefits and why he'll approach it more like a practice test than a training day. There's a lot to be said for feeling the race environment. The nerves, the speed, and the race energy. It's all waiting and it will be a great 10,000 foot view for an A-Race later in the season. Topics: Why Mike ultimately signed up The approach without a typical build and taper Pacing and racing test Durability check in Why it's a good idea to jump in late What will be the challenges Staying calm when swept up in competition Rockford's course and strategies What can be learned for Ironman later in the year Approaching the swim, bike, and run Staying under control but flirting with edges A $500 triathlon immersion seminar Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com
