After securing his fourth Triathlon National Championship of Great Britain, Tim Don is coming State side for the ITU Hy-Vee World Cup Triathlon. The Olympic distance course (1.5k swim, 40k bike, 10k run) sets stage in Des Moines, Iowa this Sunday. For those of you not familiar with the area, it’s pronounced Dee Moyn and the heat-index gets as cranky as the locals if you pronounce it wrong. The average race day high is only 82 degrees Fahrenheit, but combine that with the 95% humidity and the heat-index hits the red zone.
With a purse of $700,000 at stake, The Don is focused on the podium. So much so that he’s been simulating race conditions training indoors in a hot and humid environment. Good for training, not so good for his MotionBased Digest or his mental health. The Don looks forward to returning to outdoor training after Hy-Vee.
Check back next week to see his results and race on MotionBased.
