I am not really sure what everyone else thought. My suspicion was he was going to go off the front on the bike like he always does. I won't let that change my race plan. If he holds on throughout the run, I'll just tip my hat to him on a great day. He did the exact same thing last year at IMTX. You have to use the cards that you are given the best you can. Chasing someone down as strong as Andrew down on the bike definitely would not be a wise choice on my part.
- Did you enjoy this bike course more or less than the old one?
- Where do you live and do you prep for the bike mainly on the trainer?
- How many hours per week do you train for biggest and average week?
- How much swimming per week?
- Do you train with any others or mainly solo?
- Height, weight, body fat percent, age?
- What was your sports background before tri?
- How did you get into triathlon?
- When did you realize you have the genetics and drive to compete as a pro?
- What keeps you motivated daily, target race outcomes, or the daily process?
Thanks for coming on here. If you would do this, change your thread title to IM Texas race win report/Ask Me Anything. We have a history of race winners coming on here and offering "Ask Me Anything Threads". Not everyone is "allowed" by the masses around here to post "Ask Me Anything". That seems to be reserved for overall race wins. I believe Jordan first posted about that as a bit of a visibility/community service/pro access thing. This is more than any old IM Texas Race Report. You're being too humble, especially after "coming back" from last year's less favourable outcome!
