Join me, Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation, as I share critical insights to help you avoid common mistakes and boost your performance on race day. In this episode, we explore three key errors triathletes often make, starting with the crucial practice swim. Learn how familiarizing yourself with race day conditions can manage your nerves and equip you with the confidence needed to excel in the water. Discover why ignoring this simple yet powerful step can lead to unnecessary surprises that could throw off your entire race strategy.

Listen in as I uncover the second common mistake—improper hill riding techniques. Many athletes mistakenly attack hills aggressively, leading to energy depletion and inefficient performance. Instead, maintaining a steady effort and consistent pedal pressure is essential for conserving energy and performing optimally. Additionally, I highlight the importance of using a free course from Endurance Nation to guide your race day preparation. This resource provides practical tips and rules to help you avoid common pitfalls and achieve success.
