Summary

There's something really special about knowing your friends and family are waiting for you out on the course. It's a feeling of excitement and belonging that's difficult to replicate. Today, we look at ways to find similar moments in training while most races are off the board. We also challenge you to ask if you're wasting time and finding excuses. Plus, will Ironman offer better races under new ownership?

Topics:

Reminded of how important the sport is to us
The trouble with chasing “balanced”
Keep chipping away
Living in the present but being aware of what’s coming
When priorities shift
Complimenting Life with Sport
The feeling that takes us back to racing
How it feels to see loved ones on the race course
These are the good old days
How to appreciate TODAY
We have no idea when we’re gonna see the finish line
Why it’s so hard right now
It’s the suffering that brings us together
No finish line has been set up
It feels like the old Louisville Run Course
“I never would have done this on my own”
How others raise our game
Are we wasting time and finding excuses
Is Mike Tarrolly reaching his potential
Wake up with the intent to get better?
You Can’t Take a Pause In This Journey
Ironman changes Hands
Will Ironman be better with the new Ownership?

0:00.0	That is why right now is so hard.
0:03.4	It's like we're all stuck at mile 13 of the Iron Man Marathon, and we have no idea when we're going to see our next group of family and friends, and we have no idea when we're going to get to the finish line.
0:25.9	Good. Good morning, my friend.
0:27.1	How fired up are you?
0:29.2	Oof, how fired up?
0:32.6	I'm a medium burn, I think, for today.
0:34.7	A solid medium burn.
0:56.1	I'm not too on far like I was. I think maybe last or is it. But hey, we appreciate you tuning in. Welcome aboard. Crushing Iron Podcasts. I believe you're what, 394 today. Oh, man. Let me look. I'm off. I think I'm off today. I think you're 393 is what I got. 393. It is. Today is July 23rd, 2020, and welcome aboard.

1:21.1	being happy and healthy and using triathlon to complement our life and not necessarily take away from
1:25.6	it. Mike and I, as both coaches and
1:27.8	athletes, just share our experiences and hopefully a very digestible way that you can take and apply to
1:32.7	your own life. We cover a swim, bike, and run. We'll go deep dive. We'll do a how to we have a
1:37.8	how to not suck series, which I think people love. We've always got a way of always good. I love it. Yeah, we have a lot of people love it for whatever reason. But hey, we'll take it. We'll occasionally have on a guest. We'll do race recaps, race previews, and sometimes we'll often pop into our closed Facebook group, which is crushing iron group if you want to hop in there, and we'll let our community drive the train and kind of get up just an overall pulse of what's going on with triathletes all over the world
