Breaking down the barriers to tri

Jason and I recently finished Ironman California. We were asked to do a podcast episode of our experience and answer some of the FAQs we have been getting. I think many runners and endurance athletes have a bucket list goal of doing a tri or an ironman, and we wanted to shed some light on what it might look like to take the dive. I did my first ever tri less than 3 months before the ironman and learned how to swim as an adult. If I can do it, I am confident others can too!

  1. At what point in the last year did you decide you wanted to train for an ironman?

    1. Do you think you will do another one?

    2. Why did you not share the training on social media?

    3. What is the time limit for each event and the whole thing?

      1. Did you listen to music?

      2. How did you learn how to swim as an adult?

      3. How did you fuel for the event?

      4. What is the hardest part?

      5. Biking: did you do most inside or outside?

        1. What is a tri bike vs a road bike

        2. How do you prevent butt from hurting?

        3. How many hours per week did you train?

        4. How was sleeping after? How sore were you?
