Get Sleeker to Get Faster
For a year, we’ve had the luxury of ignoring our “sleekness” due to a lack of racing. Join us to explore how aerodynamics and hydrodynamics translate to “free speed,” PRs and podiums from Challenge Daytona Champion and the reigning IRONMAN 70.3 Champion, Gustav Iden, and from experts Hunter Allen and Alex de Boer.
Discussion topics include:
- Proven ways to increase speed through technology, equipment and experts
- The most cost-effective solutions for improving efficiency of movement through air and water
- Estimates of gains made through non-fitness-related means (aka “free speed”)
- Gustav Iden’s thought process around optimizing Aero and Hydro-dynamics
