Summary

Ironman Florida reminded us of the importance of solid swim training, so much of today’s cast is about swimming, but we also get into Ironman mindset and why you need to be prepared to grind. We talk about rolling starts and why we believe they are more dangerous than mass starts. We get into HOW to practice for a rough Ironman swim.
