    Solo Episode: Dylan’s Pinyons and Pines ITT Debrief #44

    ✨ Support the Podcast ✨https://linktr.ee/theendurancestudio In this solo episode, I share key lessons learned from recent endurance events including the Maricopa Trail Race, Race Across Arizona, and my Pinyons and Pines ITT. Topics covered include sodium and electrolyte management to prevent cramping, optimizing sleep setups for ultra-distance races, gear and tech comparisons like the Garmin Edge vs. Coros Dura, lighting strategies for multi-day rides, and small but crucial items like sunscreen and water filters. Plus, reflections on mental strategies to resist the pull of comfort during difficult race sections. ---------------- Stagecoach Line 200 Duathlon - https://ridewithgps.com/events/391201-stagecoach-line-200-duathlon ---------------- This episode is brought to you by: Squirrel's Nut Butter - https://squirrelsnutbutter.com/discount/ENDURANCE20 Use code "ENDURANCE20" for 20% off!
