#494 – Racing Your Best Ironman

This one meanders a bit, but then gets into actionable Ironman racing strategies. How physical meets mental throughout the day. When/if to turn up the bike, and how to think about your marathon. We get into training harder than you should race and how that translates into mile by mile strategy. We also talk about how to tackle your "B-Race" and why the results shouldn't fool you. We talk about peaking at the right time, how you should feel out of the swim and off the bike, and playing the Ironman "run game." It's all about nailing the first 135 miles.  Topics: Musselman talk  Post Race Food  The problem with "reviews" The year of deferrals  Condensed racing schedules Assuming we're better than we were last year What hurts a triathletes performance Pacing, nutrition, and transitions Practicing harder than the game The B-Race as a Crystal Ball?? What will disrupt your ultimate performance How to race a B-Race Peaking at the right time How to Race Ironman When/If to push the Ironman Bike Running the IM Marathon When you're tired and ready to get off the bike Caught up in your bike split?
