Ironman Florida reminded us of the importance of solid swim training, so much of today’s cast is about swimming, but we also get into Ironman mindset and why you need to be prepared to grind. We talk about rolling starts and why we believe they are more dangerous than mass starts. We get into HOW to practice for a rough Ironman swim. Don’t get lulled to sleep in peaceful lanes are your local pool. Open water swimming is about being strong and expending the least amount of energy.
