Just a couple of points. Totally agree regarding the bike fit. I bought a beautiful Cervelo road bike and on our long Sunday rides, I would have to stop every hour or so with lower back fatigue. I saw a physio here in Canberra and their very experienced bike fitter and with a few millimetres here and a centimetre or two there I am able to ride for six hours with no back issues. Yes it cost $600 but in the scheme of things and the hours we spend on the bike it was worth every cent. As for the Form goggles suggestion, I was wondering if they are suitable for people who need glasses. I wear prescription goggles in the pool and in my races. I am not sure if I would even be able to see the data on the lenses. Thanks for a great episode and all the great takeaways. P.S Some of us take over 7 hours for a 70.3 but I love your optimism.
Yes a bike fit a top priority! Great question about the form goggles.. can't answer that! P.s our time frames are very general when referring to 70.3's there are some people under 4 hours and some over 8!
