Episode 32: Preparing for triathlon - Swim to T1 with Jay Peluso

On this month's podcast we talk about how to get faster from the swim to T1 with Coach Jay Peluso of Peluso Open Water. The triathlon adage that you can't win the race in the swim but you can definitely lose it makes swimming a critical, but often mis-trained leg of triathlon. Coach Jay breaks down what to do with your first tri coming up, or how to be at your best as the biggest races of the season approach. Learn about the essential tools for swim training and how to finish off your swim for a great T1! Jay takes a very matter of fact approach that is effective and immensely popular here in Richmond, and you won't want to miss out on the interview.

Also on the podcast, I discuss where your training needs to be going into March and we get a first glimpse at my new training wheels, the top notch ZTR Crest from Stan's No Tubes. I'll reserve my full review for now, but suffice it to say, the Crest are no second rate wheel set. Good enough to race right out of the box and weighing just over 1400 g, you can't beat the performance and value of this wheel! I cannot thank Stan's enough for their support this season and I cannot wait to bury the competition on the MTB.

Finally, be sure to support all our sponsors, including Gu Brew and Gu's newest drink, Roctane, which will ignite your performance.
