Matt, Jillian, and Jay returned from Marbella, Spain where they participated in the Ironman 70.3 World Championships.  They debrief their experience and overall reaction to the race, logistics, and vibe.  Ultimately, they discuss how to manage expectations and discussed how a World Champs is different than a single-day Ironman event.  Last but least, is it worth the effort to attend a World Champs?  Listen to find out!

It's no secret at this point that Matt, Jillian, and Jay are preparing for a destination race in a few weeks.  Your hosts share their top 3 must have "things" to pack for their trip.  Beyond the obvious things we need to race on race day, you may not think of some of the things this trio share.  We hope their tips save you time and money on your next destination race!

Inspired by this year's Ironman World Championship Women's Race in Kona this year, Matt, Jay, and Jillian talked about their biggest "bonks" and what they learned from them and how we try to avoid them along our triathlon journey.  Bonking is part of the process and even our best efforts are not enough to overcome the "uncontrollables" of triathlon.  We hope you might get a tip or two to break your bonks in the future!

Are you ready for a guest!  We enjoyed talking to Royce Scrivano about his triathlon journey.  As a former high school and collegiate runner, Royce began his journey the same as many of us, from the shorter distance.  He has tested the middle distances but ultimately, his love is for going fast!  Royce is also dedicated to the local triathlon scene where he is president of his local tri club.  We hope you enjoy Royce's energy and positive attitude!
