Welcome to the first race smackdown of 2024, and it's not to be missed! Today, we bring together the minds and muscles of YT head coach BJ and Finding Endurance coach Jennifer, both of whom smashed the course while remaining focused on their bigger goal of IRONMAN Texas at the end of April.

This race is a YT favorite, just a few miles down the road from YogiTriathlete headquarters in Carlsbad. Thank you to everyone in the community who introduced yourselves, attended Jess and BJ's breath-focused workshop, and cheered on the YTs on the course this year. We'll be back in 2025 and invite you to join us in training and racing for the year to come.
