Welcome to the Triedout podcast. Whenever you go for a workout, there's weather outside. There's weather and there is wind or there's the absence of wind. In today's episode, we're going to be talking about what to do when you have a windy workout day. How do you mentally tackle these days? What strategies and tactics can you

employ to crush your workout when you've got wind gusting all over the place every single which

way when you're outside? All of that today with our two coaches, Brady Hoover and Ryan Tibble,

here to talk this through with us. I'm Andrew the average triathlete, voice of the people and captain of the middle of the pack. As always, we'll start off with our warm-up question. We'll settle into our main set topic where our coaches will be talking to us about working out in the wind. And then we'll settle in to ask an audience question on the cool down. Lots of good stuff.

Let's get to do it.

This is the Tridot podcast, the triathlon show that brings you world-class coaching with every conversation.

Let's get started with today's warm up.

Okay, Brady, Ryan, excited to have you guys on to talk about this one.

And for our warm-up question today, while we're talking about windy conditions, let's go,

let's go here on race day.

What is the windiest race day you have ever encountered?

Coach Brady, hit us with it. Oh, boy. I remember this as soon as

this question came up. Easy, right? Easy. Busy, easy. Boston 2018, worst weather of that race recorded.

It was 35 degrees, windy, rainy. I mean, it was bad. There was, there was points in that race.

Like, I remember going through the framing and flats. And, you know, it was rain. And then you

would get these buckets of just cold, ice cold rain where I said, I'm going to drop out.

It was a headwind. The winds were coming out of the east. So it was brutal.

I ended up having to like lap reset my watch every quarter mile to stay on track.

It was something else.

One for the record books for sure.

Yeah, I think we've got several coaches in our, in our system, right, who have done Boston multiple times times and anybody who's done boston multiple times has encountered a bad weather boston uh it just happens every couple of years right

so that's that's the extreme one for you coach ryan tibble you and i live in the same location
