Most triathletes abandon their game plan for a variety of reasons. Today we look at why it's so easy to lose your way in a triathlon. We talk about proper pacing in the swim and the bike, and a deep exploration of how that impacts your run. We also talk about having patience with pain. Also, we both signed up for Ironman Louisville last week and are on Day 6 of our "100 Days To Louisville." We talk about the first week of training for Ironman and the video series that will accompany our entire journey.
