Summary

If you know you can finish a long workout, but it will shell you for the next week, why would you do it? Today, it’s about reality checks and truly feeling happy and healthy with triathlon. It’s about fitting triathlon into your life, not the other way around. We all have so many pressures and distractions, how do we balance it all, especially with a big race on the horizon. We talk about respecting your time, closing your inner circle, and putting things that matter first. We look at the realization that we’re all flawed and sometimes we have to let go.

Topics:

When coaches feel like the mother of the bride
Humidity, dew point, and freaking out
Power Bars and Podiums
Prisoners of the moment
Sweat rate and water
This is the hottest and hardest time of the year
People are overwhelmed
Understand triathlon’s place in your world
Failure to hydrate and fuel
Digging out from a hole
What to do when you start to panic
Respecting your time!
You can’t do everything
Energy going to wasteful places
Closing your inner circle
Anxious about things we can’t control
Hey, this seems like a good thing, let’s do it!
Aiming low
Don’t work life into your training
Realizing you’re flawed
Give someone else the power
Feeling good and healthy
Life is hard!
Happy and Positive = Fast
