Congrats on the performance and thank you for a detailed race report!
Quick question: is peeing 2 times on the bike an actual proof that you are well hydrated? May be a different topic, but still...
In terms of what constitutes peeing ‘a lot’, I usually tell athletes it’s not a bad thing to pee once on the bike in a half-distance event, possibly twice in an Ironman. This tends to show that you’re drinking a reasonable amount but not massively overdoing it. Much more than that and I’d say it’s a sign of either taking in too much fluid, or insufficient sodium within that fluid to retain it in your body.

It doesn't get easier, you just get slower

Sure - I can try and elaborate a bit. This definitely isn't my realm of expertise, so mostly conveying what I've done versus why I've done it.
Some examples of the types of exercises included: lunges, squats, dumbbell press, single leg Romanian deadlift, Bulgarian split squats, box jumps, etc.
Typically leading into big races the workouts will be more stability focused - single leg/single arm, band work, etc. However, when there isn't a big race just around the corner workouts will be a little more intense with some circuit work and machine work (leg extension, leg curl, squat machine, etc.).
I know quite a few athletes that work with ECFit, often while recovering from injuries. They seem to have good success with those programs. Perhaps it might be a matter of making sure you are doing the correct program at the correct time in relation to your races/goals.
Thanks!

Thanks! Glad people are enjoying the read and info.
I'll tackle that one - I think this is probably a bit of an athlete dependent thing.
I had two comparisons I was basing hydration assumptions on:
1 - Ironman Arizona: I only had to go once at the very end of the bike and then not at all during the run.
2 - Long training rides: I almost never have to go even over the course of a ~4 hour ride plus brick run.
Based on those comparisons having to go twice on the bike plus again in the first few miles of the run was a positive indicator of good hydration in my opinion.

Congrats on the great race JT. Any regrets running the disc rear given the crappy Santa Rosa roads? At any point did you wish you had a bit more compliance of the Enve 8 out back, or did the tubeless at 80 psi work out just fine? Debating setup with a friend for Santa Rosa 70.3 next month.

Thanks!
None at all. To be honest I'm not sure I could tell a difference between a disc and spoked wheel from a ride feel/compliance perspective. I'd say the tire type and pressure are far more critical. I rode a 25mm tubeless setup at 80 psi and would run the same setup again.

Thanks Eliot!
Yes, I was super pleased with the execution. Now to do it all again in October!
