Summary
Many of us primarily identify as “triathletes” but does that take away from who we really are as a person? And does it make training harder? Today we look at designing your own lifestyle instead of forcing too many things and being scattered. We also look at approaching our lives with balance and fueling the real you, all while remaining someone who plays triathlon, does it to the best of your capabilities, and finds a well-rounded satisfaction in all the above.
Topics:
- Finding a good balance post-race
- Training should be taking care of yourself
- Would you take 5 weeks off?
- Stress is stress/energy is energy
- Your relationships with training
- Robbie’s break from racing
- Half or Full?
- Identifying as a triathlete
- Is it okay to be okay?
- Are you creating busywork?
- Pressure, Over-extending
- Friends support the direction you want to go
- Saving Spousal Credits
