Battling "funks" is a huge part of triathlon training, but do coaches get them too? Today, Coach Robbie opens up about why he can get down on himself after a race weekend and how he digs out. We also get into listener questions involving picking your next race, stepping up to the next distance, and planning for next season, along with explaining the keys for finding the biggest gains in all three disciplines. Mike addresses his failed podium prediction.
