Summary

With three different sports and lots of equipment, the likelihood that SOMETHING goes wrong during a triathlon is high. But how you react can make or break your race! On this episode, Coaches Kurt Madden and Louise Strydom join host Andrew Harley to alleviate your anxieties about what troubles could arise. Kurt and Louise not only share their personal stories of perseverance, but also offer valuable advice on how to handle problems before and during the race. When should you switch from "plan A" to "plan B"? When should you continue to race and when is it best to withdraw? Whether it's a mechanical issue; an injury, or other life circumstance, we are here to help you keep calm and carry on through the finish line! At TriDot, we trust 2Toms to keep us moving! 2Toms provides revolutionary products to prevent issues from chafing, blisters, odors and sweat.
