Summary
We had a blast with this one. We start with transition tips, and end with giving you a whole new perspective on how to think about T1 and T2. We also get into the theory behind how to handle missed workouts. Should you make it up, create a hybrid, or just move on? Then we deal with the ever-present topic of how to train in cold weather for early season races that will be much hotter. We look at the argument of fat for fuel vs. carbohydrates and the concept of being metabolically flexible. When is the right time to pull the trigger on a new bike? How do you make sure you keep your tank full in training. And, a new way to approach the swim if you're someone who has trouble with going out too fast or panic attacks.

| 0:36.1 | Yeah. |

| 0:47.0 | anything. |
| 0:47.4 | The problem is there's just like there's way way too much out there. |
| 0:52.5 | And I think all you end up doing is reading other people's solutions for themselves. |

| 1:06.6 | for you in that. |
