We answer a ton of questions today, including a rapid fire ending you won't want to miss. We get into the challenges of riding with wind. How do you handle tail, head, and cross winds? Is aero always better? What about your grip on the bike . . . why it matters. Do you need more or less rest on your swim sets? Today, we look at WHY you're taking rest and how much you actually need. Is it better to do long interval sets in the water or short and hard? Can you recover WHILE you're swimming? Race wheels and wind. What's the key to racing with different wheels?
