Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Kona to Kansas: Taking on Unbound Gravel 200
Q: How does training for a 200-mile gravel race differ from a standard 100-mile or Ironman plan?
Training piggybacks on long weekend rides and weekly volume, but you must balance stress and recovery to avoid derailing the rest of the week's training; sustained endurance is built gradually, with careful attention to crossover training like swimming and strength, and occasional short runs when appropriate.
From First Sprint to What's Next: Our Baby Triathlete's Triathlon Debrief
Q: Tell me about the triathlon.
Sharon describes the race as an early-start sprint with a pool swim, a three-loop bike course with hills, and a run that challenged her on distance and pacing. She emphasizes the learning curve of transition timing, gear choices, and staying calm in the crowd, and she highlights the supportive, beginner-friendly nature of the event.
From Pro Card to Age Grouper: Carolyn Carter on Identity, Pressure & Loving Triathlon
Q: How has your training changed after turning pro and then returning to age group?
She moved from coach-less training to structured coaching that supports all three disciplines, emphasizing balance, consistency, and enjoyment over chasing every possible race.
From Pro Card to Age Grouper: Carolyn Carter on Identity, Pressure & Loving Triathlon
Q: What was it like to qualify for the Pro Card and then transition back to age-group racing?
The experience was initially nerve-wracking and overwhelming, with moments of self-doubt, but over time she found belonging and learned to manage expectations by focusing on personal growth rather than external validation.
Dead Last Start, Balloon Ladies & Course Cutting: Inside runDisney Stats with Brian Davis (Part 1)
Q: What does starting at the back do to your pace and goal of passing the field?
Starting back forces athletes to manage congestion and line navigation, but with a focused strategy they can still pass many runners, and the math shows you can gain time relative to the balloon sweep if you are efficient.
