In this episode of the Pursuit of the Perfect Race, I talk with my friend Annette Melecio. Annette is in the U.S. Army and is also on Active Duty.

In this episode of the Pursuit of the Perfect Race, I talk with my friend and professional triathlete Adam Feigh. Adam and his loving wife recently had their first child together earlier this year. This adds to the complication of their life, work, training balance and we discuss how he does this with his family. Adam is being coached by Jesse Vondracek from Top Step Training. One of the trends we also talk about is how all athletes regardless of ability need to have a “Plan B” for their nutrition. When something happens that isn’t planned for, things will happen that can deteriorate your race. Even though there wasn’t a swim at this course, the course is still more than the 140.6 mile distance due to the additional four miles on the bike. Thanks Adam for coming on the show, I enjoyed talking with you and look forward to following you in the future!-Enjoy the show.

In this episode of the Pursuit of the Perfect Race, I talk with my friend and Chattanooga native, Matt Triick. Matt came on earlier this year and we discussed his race at Boston where he had a sub 2:55 day in the weather conditions. As a Registered Dietitian himself, he still says he doesn’t have a solid nutrition plan. But we discuss on this episode how to factor in heat, humidity and even cold weather preparations. Good Luck in Daytona Matt, I enjoyed having you back on and hearing your story and allowing you to share your excitement in getting your slot for Kona in 2019!-Enjoy the show.

In this episode of the Pursuit of the Perfect Race, I talk with my friend and coach from Chattanooga, Tennessee Bruno Martins. After talking earlier this year about his finish at the 70.3 in Ohio, we discuss the amazing time he had down in Cozumel. While the finish line podium was not what he wanted or expected at Ohio, it made up for it down in Cozumel. He felt like a rock star getting up on the podium here. Something I learned about Bruno during this interview was that he is a Vegetarian out of choice. Some of his key workouts include hill repeats. Good luck at Boston next year Bruno, it was a pleasure having you back on the show!-Enjoy the show.

In this episode of the Pursuit of the Perfect Race, I talk with my friend from South Africa Julian Summers. Julian is crazy. Point blank. But in a good way. His recent weekend at IRONMAN© Maryland & IRONMAN© Chattanooga was nuts! Just nuts! He had a fun time doing both races but unfortunately did not finish the race at Chattanooga due to a logistical issue that we talk about. The swim was canceled at Chattanooga, which in theory would have made the race better and easier, but this was not meant to be. We talk about the bigger picture of the weekend and discuss all of the details involved in two different IRONMAN© events, in two different states, and toeing the line at both. Thanks for spending some time with me Julian, I look forward to following you in the future and it was great to meet you in person at IRONMAN© Louisville!-Enjoy the show.

In this episode of the Pursuit of the Perfect Race, I talk with my friend and coach from Octane Athletics Melissa Richardson. Melissa talks about how coaching and racing at the same time impacts her race and how making the most of terrible conditions on race day is sometimes out of your hands.

In this episode of the Pursuit of the Perfect Race, I talk with my friend and fellow Coach from SuperFly coaching Adam Zucco. In this episode we discuss something that is key for athletes to have when thinking of nutrition. Nutrition plans are great, but you also need to have a Plan B for when things go wrong. You’ll recall that he raced IRONMAN© 70.3 Santa Rosa earlier this year, where he had a solid day and placed 4th in his Age Group, which is the same here. Adam and I talk about how important it is to give yourself grace on race day and not allow mental thoughts to enter your head that are negative. SuperFly Coaching has helped more than 60 athletes get to Kona under the guidance of Coach Adam, I am very thankful for his time that he spent with me and I look forward to following him at IRONMAN© Florida next month!-Pictures from Eric Abbott, Instagram @abbott_racing-Enjoy the show.
