The Bek and Siri Show

This week the show comes to you from Chile with Team Sirius Tri Coach Troy Romero fresh off his second place at Patagonaman Extreme Triathlon. Troy talks us through the race and his experience in Chile.

Show Notes

This week, Coach Troy shares his experience with Patagonman.

Patagonman is an Iron distance race. Water temp was between 6-9 Celsius.

You need to jump off a boat that is 3-6 meters high. 

Once you hit the water, it will shock you because it was cold. But once adrenaline kicks in, your body can amazingly adjust.

Traveling to the Southern part of Chile was a challenge. After arriving from the US then you have another 6 hour flight to get to the race venue.

The most challenging was the fact that the race starts in Chataboco which is an hour away. In the morning of the race, you have to be in the ferry to jump off.  You have to have everything prepared for all your transition sets before 4 AM. That means you need to get into transition at about 3 AM, at the very latest. That also means that sleep was a challenge.
