Summary

There are so many distractions that suck the energy out of our lives. Are you focused on what’s really important? For many, this has turned into the longest “off-season” in our triathlon careers, so how do you find that race community energy more often? Changing up workouts, focusing on little things that help you escape from the grind, be a better and happier person? Today we look at some of the traps we’ve fallen into and how to escape them.

Topics:

Self-supported Ironman
How do you handle not having a race?
Endurance sports let you race by yourself
Addicted to headlines
What’s REALLY important to you?
Spending energy vs. being busy
Trying to make money, arguing about sports or politics you’ll never solve
Obsessed with showing our work
The extended “off season”
Shifting gears to create new habits
The Ironman weekend “escape”
It’s your chance to escape
Triathlon to top off energy stores
Mike’s Bungee cord analogy
How much tension in your life?
Be in the moment, but get OUT of it
Major sports and do we care??
They need some Muncie Volunteers, especially the day before the race in the Athlete Registration (Athlete Check in). So if you’re racing or have family going, they’d love your help and it’s a great way to help this race get things going in the right direction for our season!
