Welcome back to the Amateur Triathlete Dad podcast, where I share my journey towards an upcoming Olympic distance triathlon in beautiful Galicia, Spain. As I dive into tapering week, I discuss the importance of rest, optimal nutrition, and mental preparation to enhance performance on race day. With a focus on reducing training load while maintaining essential routines, this episode provides insight into how I balance exercise, carb-loading, and hydration strategies. Join me as I navigate the excitement and nerves of racing for the first time with my team: Triathlon Valdebebas, alongside teammates and family support.
