Summary

We start with some big changes in Kona and St. George. Then we get into the last weeks before a ton of Fall Races…. What should you be working on, thinking about, and not thinking about? Is there still time to get faster? Should you work on your run or bike or swim more? How does it balance? Are you practicing to be good at “slow?” How long should you run before the Ironman? How long should your taper be? And are you prepared mentally to handle the inevitable pain?
