Summary

Are you ready to become an IRONMAN but not sure where to start? The full distance is intimidating and can seem exponentially more daunting than an IRONMAN 70.3. Andrew Harley and Vanessa Ronksley have learned A LOT hosting the podcast and this week they'll share the 10 tips they personally provide to friends who ask for their advice about stepping up to IRONMAN. TriDot will have you physically ready, but there are so many other things to think about: what will you wear? Will you change clothes for the run? Is your bike fit ready for 112 miles? Is your fueling dialed in - do you know what to take AND when to take it? Have you planned your race schedule to maximize your potential? Andrew and Vanessa share past stories and lessons learned to guide you as you embark on your own IRONMAN journey!
