In this episode of the Sweat Elite podcast, Joe Skipper
recaps his experience at Ironman Lake Placid. The discussion
includes his pre-race strategy, performance insights, and the
challenges he faced, particularly during the swim and bike
segments. The conversation also covers the competitive landscape
of the Ironman Pro Series, the balancing act between tapering and
recovery, and the influence of increased professional
competition. Predictions for upcoming T100 races in London are
analyzed, with a focus on key athletes like Lucy Charles, Magnus
Ditlev, and Alistair Brownlee. Broader triathlon topics,
including predictions for Kona and the Olympics, and the impact
