Scott Byram is coming to Kona for the first time, with a clear plan for his race. From punctures, to marginal gains and where to find the best pizza, he has it all figured out. Now, time to make it happen. Tune in to hear all Scott’s insights as he prepares for IRONMAN World Championships.
Hey @Jonathan and team - loving these interviews so thank you for them! So incredibly informative. One thing I’d love for you to ask Kona athletes in future interviews, if you’re up for it, is whether they follow the triathlon base/build/specialty plans, whether they do low/mid/high volume, and whether they do the swim/run workouts Chad prescribed or something else. Just an idea - but I reckon many would enjoy the answer!
I think his was a manufacturer’s claim, which is usually a bit suspect. That said, there does seem to be varying advantages and each brand suit will be different on each rider. Just like training, nutrition, helmets, bikes and other things, there is no one is best. Testing is the best if you can afford it…
Thanks @Jonathan. It was a tough day overall. Water was a bit rough. The wind was crazy! I swear we had a headwind both ways on the Queen K not to mention the insane crosswind gusts. The run was hot and HUMID as expected. Overall I was happy with the performance and I’m glad to be done. If it’s OK with coach Chad I think I’ll take a couple weeks off TR!
