"The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there." –Vince Lombardi

Sometimes triathlon can eat you alive, but when we're down, we can only control one thing . . . our reaction. Today, we talk about emotions and how they can drag us down in training, and ultimately races. We can't control the weather, the pool lanes, or outside factors in life, so how do we lean in instead of walking away? Today's success is one positive decision away, if we can stay out of our feels.
