And just when you thought it couldn't get more dramatic, enter the flat tire saga! Will Alex's virtual guidance be enough? Or will a mysterious cycling coach named Olivier swoop in to save the day (and Rebecca's bike)? You'll have to listen to find out if her trusty steed makes it to the 40k ride!We're also diving into those head-scratching race day rules, like bike check-in for Iron Man 70.3 and the full monty. Plus, we share a secret weapon for foggy goggles – because nobody wants to swim blind! Get ready for laughs, relatable woes, and maybe, just maybe, some actual training insights.Wanna jump straight to the good bits?01:16 - Kicking off with those classic pre-race jitters03:39 - The other kind of "toy" Rebecca uses for swimming05:26 - When a solo run turns into a humidity-fueled existential crisis07:48 - The introduction of our potential bike-fixing hero, Olivier!09:12 - Puncture-gate: The epic battle of Rebecca vs. her flat tire37:46 - Deciphering the mystical triathlon bike check-in ritual42:08 - Our top secret (not really) anti-fog goggle hack#IronManJourney #TriathlonLife #BikeProblems #FunnyPodcast #RacePrepRealness #FitnessFails #TrainingDiaries #CyclingAdventures #SwimBikeRun #PodcastVibes
