This is the TriDOT podcast. TriDOT uses your training data and genetic profile combined with predictive analytics and artificial intelligence to optimize your training, giving you better results in less time with fewer injuries.

Our podcast is here to educate, inspire, and entertain. We'll talk all things

triathlon with expert coaches and special guests. Join the conversation and let's improve

together. Together. So straight up at the top of the show, I have a quick confession.

This episode, in its entirety, it's really for me.

Okay, it's been widely talked about on the show that I am the only one at the table during these conversations that has not completed an Iron Man.

And I've been prepping for a while now to tow the line at Iron Man, Texas.

And the closer I get to my first Iron Man race day, the more questions I think of in relation

to being a rookie, a novice, a newbie at that distance. So today, I am peppering our coaches

with all of my aspiring Ironman questions.

And if you guys, our listeners, just so happen to benefit from this, well, then that's just a

bonus.

I mean, I'm just kidding, of course.

You will benefit, I think, I hope.

But again, this one's for me, so I don't care.

Okay.

Joining us for this conversation is Coach John Mayfield, a successful Ironman athlete himself, John leads Tridot's Athletes Services, Ambassador, and Coaching Programs.

He has coached hundreds of athletes ranging from first-timers, Dakota qualifiers, and professional

triathletes.

John has been using Tridot since 2010 and coaching with TriDOT since 2012.

John, how's it going today?

You ready to talk Iron Man?
