#858 – ROCKFORD 70.3 PREVIEW

Today we take a look at the inaugural Rockford 70.3. We get into the course, race strategies, and how to handle what looks to be a hot day. We talk about the city, wetsuit or not, river flow and a pre-race HR test. We also get into how to stay as cool as possible all day with tips for pre-race, T1, the bike, T2 and the run. This will be a game of being smart and patient and we'll give you thoughts on how to do just that. Topics: Rockford Downtown - Mike's old stomping grounds Will this race jumpstart the city? Dealing with the heat Wetsuit or not? Why it's too late for heat prep Don't drain your body this week Stay out of the heat River flow Pre-race HR test A lot of first timers Pop a gel at the end of the swim Cold water after the swim Too eager to push a higher zone Once you overheat, there's no turning back Wind mind games It's all about being smart and patient Carrying nutrition on the run? Carrying ice Zip lock tricks When you're dehydrated and full Plain water on board?
