#955 – Ironman Wisconsin and 70.3 Recap For 2026

Today we go through all things Ironman Wisconsin 2026. We talk 70.3 and full. We look at the race itself, how people fought and battled, and why Ironman seems like it's gaining steam again. We talk about the power of support from a team, get into why the bike is so tough for most, and whether or not it's the legs that give out or it's simply the tension and repetition of race day. We talk about the concept of leaving your "fight" in training. We look at how the society can stack the deck against us and why Ironman is kind of a "binge weekend." We discuss the finish line feels, why Robbie didn't race, and look at post race routines and why they can be dicy.
