Welcome to the TriDOT Podcast big show today. I am chatting one-on-one with the legendary Carrie

Talafson. She's a national champion middle distance runner, an Olympian, a broadcaster, and a podcaster.

And spoiler alert, Carrie will be collaborating with us here, a predictive fitness in a big way

for the run dot podcast. more on all of that later

on the show today carrie's also going to give us her four pre-race tips the four things she

likes to make sure she does before race so lots of good stuff from her i'm andrew the average triathlet
