Summary

Today is about locking in on the concept of getting just a little better each day. We talk about how the process of improving is the main goal and how locking yourself into a race performance can backfire and snowball in the wrong direction. We look at being flexible and making decisions that keep things moving the right direction. Also, not overshooting realism in training and in life. Clear the deck on the daily for better performance. Don’t lock yourself into the idea that racing is the purpose. Building a little bit each day gives you the confidence and perspective to set yourself up for a good season. Go the Opposite direction from Tri-Calc. 

Topics:

  • Proceed with caution
  • New year, new offices, new goals
  • Over-shooting Realism 
  • Attaching ourselves to one thing
  • Don’t waste time between time 
  • Adaptable and Flexible
  • Honing Apathy 
  • Accepting Emotions for what they are 
  • Having perspective on commitment
  • Defining ourselves into a box
  • Putting it out there as an excuse 
  • People quite because they don’t want to know the answer
  • Clearing the deck for better performance
  • Putting yourself out there bare naked is hard
  • Distancing ourselves from being just a triathlete
  • The opposite of Tri-Calc
  • We act like we’re in control
  • Building cars
  • The inflexible athlete
  • Have more fun
  • Hayden’s First Pro Hockey game
  • The evolution of excuses 
  • A race is Not Your Purpose
  • Mike the Lion Tamer?
