This week we are sitting down with Erin Carson of Rally Sports to talk about: Life and business as things are starting to open up, how she's been helping athletes during this period, we'll talk about the ECFIT Launch workouts, and Erin's philosophies on strength training for endurance athletes. We'll also learn a little more about Rally Sports.
Thanks to last week's guest, Matt Bach for an education on endurance nutrition and about what makes UCAN so unique and different as an fuel source. We hoped to just share some facts because it's something that we believe in and it really is something to be experienced to really get. More on that later.

What's New in the 303:
Endurance News:
Is IRONMAN Lubbock really happening?
USAT Collegiate Nationals in Lake Havasu October 16-17
USA Triathlon today announced the dates and locations for its rescheduled 2020 Collegiate Club & High School National Championships and 2020 Duathlon National Championships, both of which were initially set for this spring but were postponed due to the COVID-pandemic. Both events are now scheduled for Oct. 16-17 in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, as part of the Havasu Triathlon co-hosted by race production companies Tucson Racing and 3 Disciplines (3D) Racing.
Collegiate Club & High School Nationals were originally scheduled to take place April 3-4 in Tempe, Arizona, while Duathlon Nationals were originally set for May 30-31 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Video of the Week:
Chat with Todd Lytle about his 34 year career in triathlon being president of Rocky Mountain Triathlon Club, some good stories along the way, his time living in Mexico and on a fishing boat and his plans to get ready to race Kona in February.
What I love about this interview with Todd was that even though I've known Todd (or at least about Todd) for a few years, I never "knew" Todd. For me to learn about his first triathlon, or his favorite swim course being Cozumel or his favorite bike course being Kentucky, or his Air Force experience (which was incredibly similar to mine), I would have to hang out with him a lot and it would take months if not years to collect all of those insights about Todd. It's like speed dating but virtually.
I saw him swimming on Wednesday at the Gravel Pond, before I watched the interview. Today, I've seen the interview and I know feel a kind of kinship with Todd. We're middle of the packer, former Air Force, triathlon nuts.
Closing:
