Stick with what you know, execute what you've done in training today.

And I know that's reiterating what a million other people have said before me.

But we still see people making these mistakes, don't we?

We will still see people making the same mistake.

And they come up to you going yeah i know i shouldn't have worn

these shoes well why did you that triathlon show 164 Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of That Traflon show, the podcast

presented by ScientificTraflon.com. I'm your host, Michael, and and on today's episode I interview Sarah McClarty.

Sarah is a former professional triathlete for Team USA and she's known for particularly being a very strong

swimmer coming from a competitive swimming background. Today she coaches age groupers as well as is a team leader with the elite USA

Triathlon National Team. So she travels with the professionals to the ITU World Triathlon Series

events and helps them out and coaches them, those sorts of things. So she is the perfect

candidate to talk about today's topic which is

executing on race day and that's something that i'm well aware that it seems yeah i haven't

done enough of these episodes put simply so i was really keen on having somebody somebody other

than myself because i've done a few solo episodes on race execution myself before

and I'll link to them in the show notes as well by the way but I'm really keen to talk with

with a coach and also a former pro athlete like Sarah to hear what goes through their mind

and how they make sure that they prepare and execute to the best of their

ability when you are on the starting line and when you are in the race when it really

matters.

So we'll talk about things like preparation for the race, going through your race morning routine,

what you do and what you think about when you stand on the start line and wait for the gun to go off
