#689 – Listener Questions - Better cycling, open water swimming, training with injuries, hills

Some awesome questions from the group today! We start with training on the bike and how to get better. Riding alone vs. a group. How to push yourself when you’re alone. We look at the best way to troll Ironman Facebook groups. We talk about how to train when you have an injury and a race coming up. Mike and Robbie share their biggest racing fears, along with what scares them as they track athletes. We shell ideas on where to start with your first racing bike. Also, you swim great in the pool, but can’t put it together in open water… we get things straightened out. How to train if you’re injured. Racing back to back days. Smart spends for your cycling. And tackling hills at Ironman Wisconsin. This one would be great for a drinking game.
