Summary
It’s not about who’s fastest, it’s about who slows down the least. You need energy to be motivated and self-imposed stress sucks the life out of you. Today we talk about trending vs. tracking your training, banking sleep, and remembering to play like a kid. Also, the anxiety from attachment, looking at data from the wrong perspective and why getting slower isn't really a thing.

- One Common Vision
- Getting out of yourself
- Lost in our own thoughts
- How do we get from THERE to HERE?
- Remembering what it’s like to be a kid
- Being in the moment with so many distractions
- Don’t forget to have fun 15:00
- Thinking and energy
- Scratching that itch
- Data in the wrong perspective

| 0:00.0 | If you look at training that way too, it's so invigorate because each day we have this awesome |
| 0:05.3 | opportunity to just get it done. |
| 0:07.4 | And that itself is a win. |
| 0:08.6 | Instead of, I had a bad workout today, I'm going to let it simmer with me, I'm going to wake up tomorrow |
| 0:12.4 | and think, there I am again, still the same athlete who's not getting it done or not improving |
| 0:16.4 | like I should be. |
| 0:17.6 | It's just, it's a rough way to live. |
| 0:21.1 | And it's a rough way to train if you want to do this and have fun with it. |
| 0:37.3 | Hey, hey, today. Today. There he is. What's up, buddy? |
| 0:39.1 | Hey, today, what is it, February 11th, 2020. Welcome aboard. |
| 0:45.4 | The Cushing Iron Podcast, 346. |
| 0:49.6 | 3.46. Sorry for the delay there. I was talking to Jessica Jacobs over there in Germany. |
| 0:55.5 | You were talking to her? Or I was going to say you're a little Facebook manager. Yeah, the old chat. Not many people hop on the phone anymore these days.

We come to you twice a week, traditionally, Mondays and Thursdays, but one day behind this week, do camp this weekend and just overall getting back on the swing of things on Monday. So if you're a frequent listener, we appreciate your patience in tuning in today, but we cover it all. |
| 1:28.7 | We cover triathlon, we cover life, and how both of those things intersect and oftentimes complement |
| 1:36.3 | each other, but can also take away from each other if we don't approach training in the right way. |
| 1:40.9 | We lose perspective. |
| 1:42.0 | And then obviously with all the obstacles and stressors |
| 1:44.8 | that life have, sometimes it's just difficult to navigate. So Mike and I have these open |
| 1:50.3 | discussions often most of the time, not scripted with kind of a very loose outline. And we just try |
| 1:57.0 | to deliver a very loose and conversational style format with no ads, no sponsors. |
| 2:03.2 | And we just hope that you can take a few things from each episode that we do and apply it |
| 2:08.3 | to your own training and your own life to hopefully have a positive impact on what you do |
