She did it! 🏅 With 66 days left on the clock, Rocket Rebecca is officially a triathlete after completing her very first (unofficial) triathlon!Join us as we recap the "Try for Tri" day, where Rebecca tackled a 1500m swim, a 20km bike, and a 5km run. We dive into her race results and see how her real-world times stacked up against our scientific predictions. (Spoiler: she's faster than we thought! 😉)But the real gold is in the lessons learned. We talk through the nutrition nightmare (pro tip: maybe don't shove a handful of sweets in your mouth before a run), the sky-high heart rate that had us all a bit worried, and the mental tricks for conquering open-water panic.This was a massive confidence boost, and we update the official progress chart to prove it—we're in the green, baby!In This Episode:🏆 (00:00) The Big Reveal: A Medal for the Collection!🏁 (04:11) Race Recap: Distances, Times & The Story of the Day📊 (10:14) Predictions vs. Reality: How Did Her Times Compare?🍬 (22:09) Lesson #1: The Nutrition Nightmare & Fuelling Fails❤️ (59:33) Lesson #2: "My Heart Rate is 180!" - Pacing & Managing Effort🌊 (36:08) Lesson #3: Conquering the Open Water Swim Panic📈 (1:17:13) The Progress Report: We're Officially in the Green Zone!🚴 (1:29:28) What's Next?
