I continue the IRONMAN© Chattanooga 70.3 series with a friend I met on course prior to the start of the race.  He talks about first how he is just truly grateful to even compete after a very interesting day in 2013 at IRONMAN© Cozumel.  After that race, his entire perspective on racing and training morphed into a more humble and safety oriented way of doing things.  He talks about his training going into the race with the help of his coach.  Bret mentions how he is a member of BASE Performance and uses their products to train and race with.  He will be recovering shortly and then ramping back up for IRONMAN© Louisville later this year in October.
