Smurf and Smurfette are Age Group Triathletes, juggling their professional careers with Ironman Triathlon training on the road to Ironman Cairns 2019. Ironman Cairns is now a month ago and this week we recap Smurf's race day. There are a tonne of lessons to take out of this experience and many highs and lows to discuss. The episode includes;

> Consistency in pre-Ironman training - managing the balance in the final weeks
> Being comfortable with the work you have put in and managing expectations
> Managing a long-race morning
> Rolling starts - the good and the bad (plus Kona age group starts)
> Dealing with the unexpected - flat tyres and mechanicals
> Self-management mentally and physically through the Ironman bike...what not to do! And keeping your head in the game
> The longest T2 ever and the eternal mental battle - remembering your why
> Why the journey, not the destination, is the most important thing
