Summary

Every triathlon finish is special - whether you won the race, finished among your fellow competitors, or were just in time for the after-party. Today's episode is dedicated to the "back of the pack" triathletes. TriDot Coach Joanna Nami, along with athletes Shannon Cranson and Simon Williams, share stories from longer days on the race course. Additionally, the three discuss training considerations and the logistics of being on course for a longer duration. Listen in for helpful information on calculating the time cut offs, proper fueling, gear considerations, mental toughness, and more!
