Summary

"Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?" - U2

Triathletes are notorious for experiencing burnout, but we're here to tell you the training isn't the reason. More often it's something in your life that isn't being addressed that can't be solved by triathlon. We look at the Ironman (triathlon) high and search for ways to approach the sport so it's not taking away what it should be giving you. The event doesn't change you, it's who you become along the way. 

Topics:

  • Ironman Muncie podcast is #65 
  • 2020 C26 Training Camps Link
  • Getting back your mojo
  • Ironman Burnout
  • Does Ironman define you?
  • The Ironman high . . . and low
  • When we let races define us
  • Why did you choose Triathlon?
  • Searching for Change 
  • Searching for Fulfillment
  • You're still left with you
  • Treading water in your life
  • Is triathlon your life raft?
  • Sleep, eat, dream, post triathlon
  • 28:00 - out… "i hate that it can't fix me"
  • Where is the sweet spot of contentment?
  • Roller Coaster Life
