(We have C26 Swim School this week, so this is a reposted Podcast and we will not have a booth at Chatt).

We begin with the Swim Start, including when to get there and how to fuel as you position yourself in the massive field of athletes. Then to the "fast but fair" bike course. We break it out by section and look at where to push and when to hold off for your best bike split. Onto the run where it can either be fast or eat your lunch. There's not much truly flat here, so racing smart, understanding the terrain, and staying cool with a lower HR could make the difference.
