Summary

How much are you learning during training? Today we talk about the connection between training and racing.

We really get into race execution and strategy and how workouts should prepare you to make the best decisions when it matters. Are you a trainer or gamer? The most “trained up” don’t necessarily make the best tracers. It’s all about execution on the race course. How will what you’re doing now affect you later? Both in training and racing. We also look at 3 types of training athletes and break down the type of athlete that races the best.

Topics:

Breathing
Swim Starts
Run warm up when it’s hot
Caffeine and Heart Rate
Brick Workouts
High HR at the bike start
High HR off the bike
Different Heart Rate Circumstances
Systems checks on the daily
Practice slow brick starts
Difference between Pros and Age Groupers
Is what I’m doing now gonna let me do X, Y, Z in the future?
Great time of the year to plan
Realistic Tri Calc entries
