Summary

We focus on the Ironman Wisconsin course, but anyone doing an Ironman will benefit from the strategies discussed today. We talk about the unique transition, tactics for the rectangle swim, how to tackle the hills, and what you should be doing on different parts of the run. Robbie has coached over 35 IMWI finishers and this will be Mike's 3rd time doing Wisconsin. The biggest takeaway on this course is you have to stay focused. Lots of turns, gearing, and opportunity to get caught up in the energy of the amazing spectators. 

Topics:

  • Mike and Robbie's long history with Wisconsin 
  • Transition Explanation
  • Swim Line up
  • Sighting tips
  • Coming into transition
  • Tips for T1 
  • Staying warm as bike starts
  • Getting used to the roads
  • Gearing tips 
  • So many turns 
  • Forgetting to hydrate
  • Don’t assume last stretch is downhill
  • Gearing the first loop
  • Stay in YOUR MOMENT
  • Beware Cool Temps Misleading You
  • How To Stay Focused
  • Coming out of T2
  • Stay your lines
  • The hills
  • When to do what
  • The cruel tease of the second loop
