Summary

Every triathlete dreams of a flawless build up to that big upcoming A-Race. But reality rarely delivers an obstacle free path to the finish line. Vanessa Ronksley's training for the IRONMAN World Championship in Nice was far from ideal. On today’s episode, her story serves as a case study for how one athlete and coach made necessary adjustments to the A-Race preparations. Vanessa recalls the range of emotions she felt throughout the training cycle, the race itself, and at the finish line while Coach Ryan Tibball spills the coaching secrets used to power her to race-day success! There is 1 week left to purchase a limited edition TriDot Podcast run shirt. The sale closes on October 13th. https://www.varlocustom.com/tridotpod
