#932 – Just Go For It – Crushing Iron Triathlon Podcast

The guys discuss Mike's last minute registration for Rockford 70.3 and the concept of jumping into a race on a whim. They go through the challenges but mostly the benefits and why he'll approach it more like a practice test than a training day. There's a lot to be said for feeling the race environment. The nerves, the speed, and the race energy. It's all waiting and it will be a great 10,000 foot view for an A-Race later in the season.

Topics:

Why Mike ultimately signed up
The approach without a typical build and taper
Pacing and racing test
Durability check in
Why it's a good idea to jump in late
What will be the challenges
Staying calm when swept up in competition
Rockford's course and strategies
What can be learned for Ironman later in the year
Approaching the swim, bike, and run
Staying under control but flirting with edges
A $500 triathlon immersion seminar
