Fresh off her second-place finish at the World Triathlon Championship Series race in Karlovy Vary, Taylor Spivey joins the Feisty Tri podcast to break down the breakthrough performance.

Taylor and Katie Zaferes talk World Triathlon and draft-legal strategy, how tactics have changed over their careers, and how the race dynamics played out differently with a hard bike course in Karlovy Vary. When you decide to race from the front or make a break, what do you tell yourself?

Taylor also updates us on where in the world she is these days, the perils of living out of a suitcase, and they compare notes on moving between short-course and long-course — what's the most challenging part of that transition. Is there an Ironman in the future?

Plus, the group chats about the impressive showing from former short-course athletes at the men's Ironman World Championship in Nice this past weekend. Did the course uniquely suit short-course draft-legal athletes? Discuss.
