Shownotes

Fresh off a dominant stretch of early season racing—including wins at Oceanside 70.3 and the T100 Gold Coast, plus a runner-up record-setting finish at Ironman Texas—Taylor Knibb joins the Feisty crew to catch her breath and share what's ahead and how she's having fun. (And, no surprise, it's a lot.)

She dives into:

  • Her race at Ironman Texas and why her mentality was different
  • Running a breakthrough 2:54 Ironman marathon
  • How she balances power data vs. rate of perceived effort (RPE)
  • What training looks like when she's racing WTCS, 70.3, and Ironman—all at once
  • The seven race metrics she has on her bike computer
  • Why she'd make a great triathlon referee
  • What she’s targeting next (World Triathlon points ahead of LA28?) as she builds toward Kona

Taylor Knibb is one of the most versatile, talented, and curious athletes in triathlon—and she brings that curiosity and knowledge to today's episode with lessons we all could learn.
