Episode 130: Short-Course Triathlon Racing and Multi-Day Training Camp Insights

In this week’s episode, Katie recaps her first race back postpartum at the Polar Bear Sprint Triathlon, sharing lessons on goal setting, transition practice, racing without data, TT bike handling, and what it felt like to truly “feel like herself” again in competition. We also dive into why sprint racing is such a powerful learning environment, how to think about race goals beyond outcomes, and practical tips for preparing for short course triathlon. Jim then reflects on a massive Mallorca training camp, including lessons on pacing, fueling, acclimation, group riding, and why fitness alone is never the full picture on big training days. We also talk cadence work, breathing, outdoor specificity, race prep, and the value of practicing the exact setup you’ll use on race day.
