AMR Trains #36: Swim, Bike, Run: A 70.3 Triathlon Race Report

Dimity chats with Laurel Short and Tiffany Cross, two Kansas-City based triathletes and best running friends, who conquered Des Moines Ironman 70.3 in late June.
In this extra long race report, the trio cover:
—The importance of having a training partner for accountability (especially in a pandemic year!);
—How Laurel, a first-time triathlete, tackled open water swimming–and getting into her wet suit;
—How Tiffany mentally pushed herself during her bike workouts to prep for race day;
—And how the pair reset on race day, when rain canceled a big portion of the bike.
