Smurf & Smurfette are endurance sport athletes based in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. It is Ironman Cairns race week, which means for the Smurf & Smurfette Podcast, a week full of podcast episodes with special guests and lots of great advice from local Cairns athletes.

We start the week talking the "art of the taper"...because it really is that - an art!! In this episode, Smurf & Smurfette cover the key Do's and Don'ts of race week, including;

• Keeping things as normal as possible
• What training during race week should look like
• Nutrition for race week
• Planning and organisation during race week and for race day
• Ironman Cairns specific logistics
