The guys discuss Mike's last minute registration for Rockford 70.3 and the concept of jumping into a race on a whim. They go through the challenges but mostly the benefits and why he'll approach it more like a practice test than a training day. There's a lot to be said for feeling the race environment. The nerves, the speed, and the race energy. It's all waiting and it will be a great 10,000 foot view for an A-Race later in the season.

Topics:

  • Why Mike ultimately signed up
  • The approach without a typical build and taper
  • Pacing and racing test
  • Durability check in
  • Why it's a good idea to jump in late
  • What will be the challenges
  • Staying calm when swept up in competition
  • Rockford's course and strategies
  • What can be learned for Ironman later in the year
  • Approaching the swim, bike, and run
  • Staying under control but flirting with edges
  • A $500 triathlon immersion seminar
