In this video I rip through 20 rapid-fire triathlon tips that I use with my athletes to cut stress and remove race-day confusion. The whole point is simple: the calmer and more prepared you are before the gun goes off, the faster you’ll race and the more you’ll actually enjoy the day. These tips apply whether you’re doing your very first sprint or you’re building confidence for a 70.3 and beyond. I focus on the “smart habits” that make the entire race feel easier—thinking ahead on rules and logistics, simplifying your gear and setup, and building a plan you can execute when nerves are high. I also point you toward a budget mindset (Tip #20) because overspending and overcomplicating is one of the quickest ways to create stress. If you want structure, I’ve also got a free triathlon course that walks you through the what/when/how, and my sprint plan is designed to get you in better physical condition—so you show up healthy, confident, and in control.
