ZenTri 629 - Cecilia Davis-Hayes, CTE, Seven Great Tips, and Swamp Running

Newly-minted pro triathlete Cecilia Davis-Hayes tells us how she balances her PhD work with training, her research into head trauma (CTE), and how to get faster by training with single-sport athletes instead of triathletes.

I cover SEVEN different tips and tricks triathletes can use to get more done.

I detail some new swim fins and give a swim workout.  I also take you running with me in the middle of a swamp with alligators during the Brazos Bend 100 ultra marathon.

Podcast 626 - IM Wales Champion Darbi Roberts and Big Swimming with Mike Derksen


(Photo credit: Ironman.com)

Join me for a detailed chat with pro triathlete Darbi Roberts on how she used better fat metabolism to win Ironman Wales on just 100 calories per hour!  We discuss her daily diet, training and racing strategies, and how she handles racing while working full time as an Assistant Dean at Columbia University.

Joining in for the second interview of the show is Michael Derksen.  We talk about strategies for his (and maybe your) next big open water swimming race.

Then we dive into some audio from a kids triathlon in Galveston where they swam in a water park's "lazy river."  After that, some thoughts on getting triathlon done while trying to adult and help out on Boy Scout campouts.

Enjoy!
