Summary
We shouldn't decide to go pro or quit based on one workout . . . or race. The key to racing well is enjoying training, and that takes patience. The short-term power in being able to let go of the outcome. The ability to "be in the moment" is much different than being a prisoner of that moment and today we lay out several different ways to stay energized about the long-term potential of your triathlon experience. Topics include:
- Quick World Series recap and analogy of how you can be more like the Astros.
- Progress Not Perfection
- Don't Cut Down the forest, keep planting
- Do you have the courage to let go of the outcome?
- Prisoner of the Moment
- Shiny new objects
- How do you enjoy "what is?"
- Making workouts attainable
- Enjoying getting better
- Hurry Slowly
- PRs without intent
- Why smiling makes you faster
- Mike's crazy Ironman dream and his "Old man Twitter" habits
