RACE WEEK - Wetsuit and Swim Pace Testing - Ironman 70.3 Morro Bay - Episode 1

It's Monday and it's Ironman 70.3 Morro Bay race week! Today I am catching you up on my final peak week of training as well as the wetsuit testing I did last week. How much faster am I in a Synergy Endorphin Thermal wetsuit and the Synergy Hybrid EFX3? Is a thermal wetsuit slower? I also hit the pool for a swim pacing workout to help dial in my race pace.
Ironman 70.3 Morro Bay is a triathlon held on California's Central Coast against the stunning backdrop of Morro Bay, California. Athletes are treated to panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, rolling hills, and the iconic Morro Rock as they test their physical and mental strength.
Morro Bay is renowned for its picturesque beauty and rich marine life. One of its most iconic features is Morro Rock, a towering volcanic plug that rises dramatically from the ocean, serving as a focal point for the town's skyline. This charming coastal community is cherished for its pristine beaches, perfect for surfing, sunbathing, and exploring tide pools.

After a hectic week traveling to watch my kids at their college events, settling in to catch up with your videos and journey. (Still on the road.)

[@tinatodd3522]

Love seeing the garden!

[@triathlontimmy]

I like the Saturday group run idea!

[@CjayeMedia]

Awesome! It will be great if we get a big group to meet up.

[@tiffanybrantley23]

Have a great race! It looks like you are primed and ready for it!

[@CjayeMedia]

Thank you Tiffany

[@darriendudley3172]

Man that’s a beautiful garden 🤯

[@CjayeMedia]

Thank you so much. Christina puts a lot of love and labor into it.

[@stefanlaursen5230]

Really good and informative video underscoring the benefits of choosing the right wetsuit! Well done 🙌

[@CjayeMedia]

Thank you so much Stefan. Love the wetsuits and all the Synergy gear!

[@2ndTri]

I wish I had an unlimited wetsuit budget😂

[@CjayeMedia]

I am really lucky to get work with Synergy and try out all kinds of gear. Definitely a perk of making videos!

[@2ndTri]

@@CjayeMedia I hope to get to your level one day! Just getting started, but I think I’ll make it!

[@CjayeMedia]

Yes! Love that attitude…I will make it.

[@RobHale81]

@@2ndTri You and me both.. Still plugging along with the videos..

[@cometriwithannie]

See you at the shake out run!

[@CjayeMedia]

Great job on the last video! You should send an invite out for the shakeout to your followers as well...colab run! Let's get a big group!!!

[@fovargoo4u]

Great vid and good luck in your race! Do you have any tips or advice for maintaining that good of swim splits for distance? I have been focusing on my posture, length, distance per stroke and catch but find when I do all that I go faster (1:40-1:50/100yd) at a cost of getting tired pretty quick. If I do a relatively relaxed stroke with a little bit of sloppier technique it's maybe 10sec/100yd slower but I can do it forever. I'm a new swimmer and know technique is king and trying to figure it out!

[@CjayeMedia]

I feel like this comes with time in the pool and lots of swimming. My technique also falls off eventually, but the more I swim the longer I can hold it together. Also get enough rest between sets in the pool is key for me.

[@Shane_Finnegan]

Do you use bilateral breathing?

[@CjayeMedia]

I do some bilateral breathing during easy sets or breath every fourth stroke as well. I don’t bilateral a lot. Mainly just to practice so if I need it in open water I can do it. When I am swimming a higher speeds I breath every left stroke.
