Great questions from our listeners and we start with training for a running race while still maintaining your inner triathlete. We look at how athletes have gone from 70.3 to successful marathons. Also, building base for your first 70.3. What if you have tendonitis? Should you keep running? Then . . . we get into a bit of a rant about KONA qualification slots. We look at what Ironman is doing to get more women in the sport. We also talk about the thought that watering down qualification for men and women has made the whole thing lose some luster. We look at local tri-club communities and whether they are growing or declining. And finally, decoding the big ring vs. small ring if you feel the same resistance on both.
