He talks with Dirk Friel about his approach to hitting peak fitness while balancing a restorative taper for the best performance racing long course triathlon.
Crowie and Dirk consider the schedule changes to the Ironman World Championships in Kona for 2022 and who could take home the men's and women's titles after seeing recent performances and results from the championships in St. George earlier in the year. Plus, should the world championships always be hosted in Kona?
