Preparing for the upcoming Ötillö Swimrun World Championships, my race partner and Ultraman Rich Roll and I did some training up in Lake Tahoe. Afterwards, we sat down and had a state-of-the-union on our race preparation.

Specific subjects discussed include:

• the impact of altitude training & training camps
• the benefits of accountability partners
• the primacy of patience for maximum success in sport
• the perils of overtraining
• the importance of injury prevention
