I think the significance of my particular dream for Kona is, is I'm not a podium finisher.

I am not a guy that is, you know, doing two-hour Olympics and finishing Iron Man's in 10, 10 and a half hours.

The Trafflon So, 142.

Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon show, the podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.

I'm your host Michael and on today's episode, I bring you a case study of a slightly different format than normal.

I interview Ian Haken on how he plans to go from being very much a midpacker as he himself admits to

qualifying for Kona using a system he calls Dream and he has also done a TEDx talk on this

topic. His best iron distance time is 12 hours 18 minutes so he has to cut roughly two hours or a bit more than two hours from

that to be in with a chance of qualifying so it is a big mountain to climb and definitely something

that requires a lot of work and this dream which is an acronym that he, is what he hopes will help him achieve that.

It's one of the hottest places in the world.

It's been 40 plus degrees Celsius here the last few days.

So even outside of training, I need to get some electrolytes in because I'm sweating so much all day

long, whether I'm training, podcasting, coaching, whatever it may be. So again, to get your

electrolyte needs covered, go to precision adration.com and use that promo code TTS20 to get 20%
