Summary

Remember that time when you got done with a workout and said, "I suck?" Get out of that place. Today, we look at a never ending positive process. We talk about the challenges of social distancing and isolation for triathletes. Depression and the immune system. How do you respond to challenges and turn them into race and life wins?

Topics:

We’re all carrying a bigger weight than we know
The problem with social distancing
When your process is disrupted
How we respond to things matters most
Rolling through different states of consciousness
When we look for answers that support us no matter what
Know who your friends really are
Two perspectives on race cancellations
A never ending process
Bad workouts as opportunities
Remember the GOOD stuff
At the core, we just want to feel goooood …….
You didn’t suck as a person
You may have sucked at self care
How we just simply bypass our environment
Triathlon vanity dreams
Don’t try to marry your training on the best day
There will always be battles
You can’t always look for the easy . . .

0:00.0	You have these two total polar opposites of the spectrum. The athletes who are stressed because
0:06.5	they don't have a race coming up and they're frustrated and disappointed with it. So they're
0:09.9	training less because they're unmotivated and they're wasting all their energy on being disappointed.
0:14.7	So they're having more stress in their life. They're exercising less. And then you have the
0:19.0	other athletes who were like, this is gravy baby. I can have more time to train. And guess what? If I want to just take the day and hang out with my family and kids, guess what I feel? Zero guilt. Zero shame. I'm doing it and I'm just moving on. Because there is so much to be, I think, learned and gained from committing yourself to a, a, a long-term process,

1:02.9	How are you?
1:04.2	Dude, my laptop just kind of trolls me sometimes.
1:07.2	It lets me mute like any incoming sounds once we get rolling.
1:10.5	And if I do it prematurely,
1:11.9	like before you and I get on, it's like, I can't hear anything. I think it just messes. I just,
1:17.3	you know, they just mess with me on purpose. But hey. Trust me. I wasn't seeing anything worth
1:21.1	listening to me. I was, I was unsure if you did. But hey, hopefully we can say something of value
1:27.3	today on our podcast.
1:28.5	Welcome aboard, Crushing Iron Podcast episode 368.
