Rachel Joyce has been second twice at Kona and won countless Ironman races. And more than a few of those times, she’s run her way up through the field from T2.
Here she shares some suggestions on how to tackle the 26.2-mile run leg of the Hawaii From Home challenge—though these tips can be applied to a regular race too:

- Remember: it’s never too late or too early to eat and drink
- Make some goals for yourself and break it up in advance
Good luck!
