19 - IRONMAN© Texas 70.3 - Coach George Cespedes

In this episode I talk George Cespedes about his race at IRONMAN© Texas 70.3 in Galveston, Texas. While he has been in the sport for more than 20 years, he sheds light that every race is different. He stresses always being prepared for anything, because of this, he was one of the few athletes that was prepared for the colder weather. Coming from Colorado, he talks about a service that makes his travel with his bike so much easier. George passes on some tips that many age groupers and even pro athletes could take advantage to stay warm in challenging conditions. Also, he talks about the obstacles for those coming from a hillier area where you aren’t training on flat lands much.-Enjoy the show.
