In this episode from last year, Coach Chris Newport, reviews the secrets to effective tapering as you approach the Ironman North Carolina 70.3, but can be applied to any triathlon. Discover the importance of staying consistent with your sleep, hydration, and nutrition routines, steering clear of the temptation to try new foods or indulge in alcohol as the big day looms. 

Gear up with essential advice on preparing for the unpredictable weather of North Carolina. With temperatures expected to dip into the 40s, I'll guide you through selecting the right equipment—like light vests, neoprene toe warmers, and gloves—to keep you warm and focused. Your bike should be in top form, and I’m here to ensure you know precisely how to avoid race-day mishaps. Get confident as you head into race day so you can truly enjoy and excel in the race. Don't miss the opportunity to set yourself up for success with these tailored tips and insights.
