ENHANCED GAMES & Developing Race Day Confidence
About this episode
The crew returns with a wide-ranging triathlon roundup — from Jackson’s ongoing hip-recovery saga and MRI talk, to practical tips for building race-day confidence. Listen as Lisa, Jackson, Garrick and Nick debate the pros and cons of the controversial Enhanced Games, unpack recovery strategies (red light, massage, cold plunges), and share concrete, age-group-friendly advice on training consistency, key tune-up sessions, gear checks, and race-week routines.
Highlights: Jackson’s load-testing and MRI plans; how to rebuild training momentum after a big race; coach vs. self-coached approaches; equipment and tire/ sealant tips; mental habits that convert training into race-day confidence; and plenty of banter on cold plunges, supplements, and parenting gear. Perfect for triathletes looking for actionable prep strategies and honest conversation on injury, motivation, and racing smart.
