Summary

Imagine if, like basketball in March Madness, this race might be the last triathlon of your life. How would you handle the pressure? Would you have a nothing to lose mentality filled with grace, or would you be uptight and stressed. Today, we look at the many different ways we can clear our mind, respect the moment, and take advantage of our ability. There are no guarantees in life, it’s up to us to let go of fear, be in the moment, and explore our opportunities.

  • You can’t Freeze 
  • The Pressure Age Groupers put on themselves

  • At the core of it all is grace 
  • Nothing to lose mentality
  • Fear of things that never happen
  • What are you meant to do?
  • The triathlon relationships
  • Take your breaks off 
  • We have to take advantage of the opportunities
  • Go out and explore your race
