Q&A #40 - When to choose a road bike in a non-draft race, using half or full Ironmans in the lead-up to a big goal race, and making up calories after big days of training How do you know if you should choose a road bike or a tri bike for very hilly races like Ironman 70.3 Nice? Can you use half and full Ironmans in the lead-up to an important goal race or are you better off just training? Should you make up all calories expended on a big day of training that same day, or can you make them up the following day?     LINKS AND RESOURCES:   That Triathlon Show website  Coaching Training Plans Race-day fueling and The Core Diet with Jesse Kropelnicki | EP#40 Gribble Best Bike Split     SPONSORS: ROKA - The finest triathlon wetsuits, apparel, equipment, and performance eyewear on the planet.
