Tri This: S2E4 : Caroline Livesey Takes Triathlon to Another Level

Caroline Livesey is a pro triathlete, coach and endurance adventurer. Originally from Scotland an d now living in Spain, Caroline turned pro in 2015 and had numerous podium results on the Ironman circuit before more recently switching to XTRI for a new challenge. In 2019, she won Canadaman, her first attempt at long distance extreme triathlons, which generally finish with a trail marathon. In 2021, she won her second XTRI at the GreekHero, and in 2022 plans to take on the XTRI World Championship race at Norseman as well as the Himalaya XTRI, Celtman and some other gravel biking adventures along the way. Her husband Mark hosts The Brick Session podcast and YouTube channel where you can find films documenting some of their experiences with XTRI and gravel biking. Caroline explains what XTRI races are and how they are different from Ironman races. We also hear how important it is to have a nutrition strategy that not only works for you, but how your nutrition and fueling strategies change from racing an Ironman to XTRI races.
