Making sure you\'re primed and ready for your big race is essential, but planning correctly to avoid the negative impacts of travel on your performance is just as crucial.

In this week\'s episode of the Purple Patch Podcast, Ironman Master Coach Matt Dixon provides a toolkit with a strategic approach to travel that offers guidance on pre-race preparation and best practices for a healthy and prosperous race day.

If you\'re planning a trip that involves time zone changes, whether it\'s a short shift or a longer stay, Matt offers helpful tips to prevent jet lag and adjust quickly. He provides advice on what to pack, what to eat and when, what perks and practices you should skip when flying, how much sleep to get before and after you arrive, and how something as simple as wearing shades can help you set your internal clock.

Matt\\u2019s actionable steps can help you check all the boxes prior to departure to ensure you arrive at your destination rested, stress-free, and healthy so you can be ready to perform at your best, no matter why you\'re traveling.
