We go deep into what was Ironman Wisconsin and 70.3 weekend in Madison. C26 had a great showing again with over 40 athletes racing and a 2nd place tri club performance in the 70.3 and 4th in the full. Stay tuned for a deep dive into race fueling. We talk about why the perfect weather wasn't exactly perfect. We look at the two loop swim challenges and why it takes more out of you than you think. We get into the bike and the constant need to be engaged. The challenges of the roads, the terrain, and the wind. We get into the bike and the course changes along with why it can sneak up on you. Then, there is an intense discussion bout Ironman Nutrition. We dive into sodium, carbs, sugar, and water and ask the question: Are most of us taking in too much? There are a lot of schools of thought and we explore why so many people have issues with their nutrition on race day. It's a long one for us, so if you stick around till the end, we'll be impressed. Topics: A whirlwind of a weekend and huge showing by the team. Community is what drives it How many people actually raced? Volunteers for two days has to be a tough ask Is the 70.3 diluting the full, or . . . The challenges of a two loop swim Was it the perfect conditions?? Bike course and body blows Everything was fine until the wind . . . Easing into the day can be tough The drain of mental engagement is underrated Staying present The more you know . . . the less you understand? Deep discussion about fueling and hydration You need JUST ENOUGH nutrition and not more Are we overloading on race day? How does your fitness affect fueling? Water and sodium There must be a reason water is first at the aid stations "This isn't really healthy, but it's what I do." Are you un-knowingly wrecking your body? The emotion of the finish line Why do we do this? Mike Tarrolly - [email protected] Robbie Bruce - [email protected]
