Course details

Looking back on your races, does your nutrition help or hinder your performance? Learn how you you can feel as good at mile 22 as you do at mile 10!

If you're serious about triathlon, this course is for you. Nutrition is the "fourth leg" of triathlon, and having a thorough understanding of how nutrition can impact your performance and recovery is vital!
