Summary

There's little argument that triathlon is primarily an endurance sport. But some athletes choose to go the extra distance (quite literally!) and endure an extraordinary challenge: an Ultraman. Ultraman Triathlon is a three-day, 515 km (320 mile) multisport race. Today's episode welcomes three ultra-distance competitors: Jason Verbracken, Kurt Madden, and Ande Wegner. Jason, Kurt, and Ande walk listeners through the planning and added demands of a grueling, multi-day test of endurance. Listen in for an overview of ultra-distance training, logistics, and execution. Even if an Ultraman isn't in your future, this episode is jam-packed full of great advice for triathletes of any distance as the guests discuss keeping your body healthy, training your mental approach to race day, and lessons learned from the race course.
