Ally sits down with her athlete Sarah for a live check-in / podcast episode as Sarah prepares to board a plane to compete at FMG Italy. We're talking a 27+ hour door-to-door journey, a 9-hour first leg, a 5.5-hour layover in Hong Kong, a 13-hour overnight flight to Milan, and then a train to the venue. No pressure.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, Ally walks through the actual travel plan - every meal, every electrolyte window, the hydration strategy, what's getting frozen, what's getting carried on, and exactly why you should never strip sodium before a long haul flight (spoiler: it backfires).

They also get into the questions Ally gets asked every single competition season - does conditioning tank on a travel day? Do macros change? Should you train? What actually causes that puffy, watery post-flight look? And why poor sleep in peak week can be more damaging to your stage finish than any meal timing mistake.

Funny, practical, and surprisingly technical - this episode is for any competitor who's ever stepped off a long haul flight feeling like a hot air balloon and wondered what went wrong.

Part 2 drops when they're back. The debrief. The truth. Whatever chaos unfolds.

Save this one. Send it to someone who's got a show coming up.
