You have a triathlete that lives in Leadville, Colorado that comes to you for training. They want to compete in the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i in 9 months. Considering the environmental differences between the two locations (elevation, cold, heat), what factors are you going to consider and what adaptations are you hoping to leverage to give the athlete the best chance for success? Please discuss the environmental, anaerobic, aerobic, and resistance training adaptations you are looking for and how to account for the environmental changes.
