One week. That's all that stands between you and the start line at Lake Wörthersee. In this race-week special, we count down the final 7 days to Ironman Kärnten–Klagenfurt (June 14, 2026) — and talk about the part nobody trains for: the waiting. Dennis and Chris break down what the last week actually looks like — why your taper is working even when your legs feel restless, how to dial in nutrition and hydration before the cannon goes off, and how to handle the "taper madness" that turns every twinge into a crisis. We walk the Klagenfurt course in our heads: the Wörthersee swim, the rolling Carinthian bike, and the flat run into town. Whether you're racing in Austria next Sunday or chasing your own start line somewhere else, this one's about staying calm, staying ready, and remembering why you started. Flowers don't compete — they just thrive. See you at the start line. 🌻
