#479 Breckebeiner USAT Winter Nats

Welcome

Welcome to Episode #479 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde. Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance news, coaching tips and discussion. 

The Breckebeiner USAT Winter National Championship was last weekend in Breckenridge, Colorado and turned out to be the most fun you can have with all your clothes on. 

I tell you what, Rich! I was nervous I wasn’t going to be dressed warm enough. Man, was I wrong! When all was said and done, I was completely drenched and I’m glad I brought an extra change of clothes. Looking forward to our discussion later and sharing what we learned about this experience!
