Description
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned after 15 years in the sport: if you want your best Ironman race, you have to race your race.
In this ride I talk about durability on the bike, why long rides matter more than most people think, and how chasing other athletes’ watts early in the race can destroy your marathon later. A lot of my Ironman struggles over the years came from exactly that mistake.
We also talk about visualization before race day, pacing decisions on the bike, and why the fitness that matters most is built months before the race—not in the final week.
The goal right now is simple: build durability, execute smarter, and show up ready to race to my own capacity.
