#496 Get Gritty with Off Road Triathlon
Welcome
Welcome to Episode #496 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde. Thanks for joining us for another week of news, coaching tips and discussion.
The heat is on and triathlon race season is seriously under way here in the front range. We had a toasty day at IRONMAN Boulder 70.3 last weekend and the heat is on again this weekend for Xterra Lory with temperatures in the mid 90s.
Congratulations to everyone who raced last Saturday at IRONMAN Boulder 70.3!
April, are you ready to blaze the trails around Horsetooth Reservoir?
Hell yeah, Rich and YEE-HAW! I texted you earlier today that this race is going to feel like a high-octane rollar coaster all under your own power. Speaking of which how was you ride around Back Country?
