Ironman Racing – Three Most Important Components on Race Day

Every once in awhile we get to talk with some fantastic racers and amazing athletes who seem to be able to train and race consistently year after year, race after race, in multiple distances.

How do they do it?  What’s going on inside their head?

From the outside it may seem like it’s all smooth sailing, but in reality they are constantly working on getting better, eliminating the rough spots, and paying attention to where they can focus better.

In Episode 8 of Tri 2 Listen, Suzanne Atkinson (head coach of Steel City Endurance, and also host of the podcast) talks with Kirsten about what was going through her mind on race day when she sealed her spot at Kona by winning her age group.

Listen to this audiogram to hear how Kirsten divides the race into three major components (no, not swim, bike and run, lol)

You can hear the entire episode with Kirsten and her father Volker at Tri 2 Listen or on iTunes, Apple or Spotify podcasting apps.  Just search for “Tri 2 Listen”, or click below.
