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
