## Resource

We're back for another episode where our triathlon coaches answer YOUR questions! Coaches Ryan Tibball and Ken Presutti jump into the hot seat on this round-robin, rapid-fire episode! Learn why TriDot uses pace (not average pace), training for hills in a flat environment, and tips for pushing through when you want to stop. Listen in as the coaches teach us about how to maximize your training schedule so shorter distances won't negatively effect your A Race and how to efficiently exit the water during an open water swim. They also discuss training by heart rate if you don't have a power meter. This episode has a tip for everyone!
