Racing the Elements:

How to race in the wind

Battling the elements on race day is another added layer of education that always seems to give athletes an extra pause. We know how to swim, bike and run, but what about in wind, rain, dark, heat…. whatever Mother Nature throws at us? Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach P kicks off our ELEMENTS Series with gusto — talking about the wind! Stay tuned to the run section when you get a teaser about the new Stryd Run Powermeter and a glimpse at our future plans!

Key Talking Points include:

• Why wind is a sneaky race day problem.
• How wind affects your swim.
• Why you do not ride harder into a headwind (or tailwind).
• Does drafting matter on the run?
