Anatomy of a Tough Race – St. George Part 2

We dig a little deeper into St. George, and today's focus is on the Age Group Athlete experience. We break down the bike, the wind, the heat, and the death march of a run. We also discuss the idea of going into a race that you know you won't PR. How does that impact your mindset, how can you learn, and how will it make you a better athlete? We also get into the post race emotion of such a tough race and the challenge of getting through the Ironman Rut.  Topics: It's all about effort Coaching and parental instincts St. George bike course/times Pros and swim anxiety Perils of starting late in the swim  The day got worse as it went Props for St. George for organization and hosting Heat and humidity vs. Dry Heat  May Race - Limited chance to train for conditions This was a tough one Walking into a race knowing you won't PR Always wanting PRs  Freedom of tough races The fitness Boost from Ironman How to move forward after a rough race Tail winds on the climb might "seem" nice Not having the same terrain to train on Post Ironman rut Validation and revenge Working through post-race emotions The beauty of tough races like this  Buy C26 Gear Here: https://c26triathlon.com/c26-store/ Check out our coaches: https://c26triathlon.com/meet-the-coaches/ Mike Tarrolly: [email protected] Robbie Bruce: [email protected]
