405 The Kona Race Week Special 2022

What’s it really like to race in the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii? This week is the Kona Race Week Special. Coach Rob is joined by Coach Chris, to talk about the athlete experience in Kona. Chris raced there in 2019 at the last Ironman World Championships, so we hear all about his experience as an athlete. We also talk about the ways that an athlete can best prepare themselves for the heat and humidity of racing in Kona, and the steps that our Team Oxygenaddict athletes have taken in training to prepare themselves for race day. They also discuss the pro races, and you’ll hear both Rob and Chris’ picks for the podium in both races! Sponsors Like what you heard in this interview?
