This is a look in the mirror podcast. We talk about the concept of chasing a prize, when the prize is right in front of us.

We chose triathlon, it didn't choose us. And it can be really hard. But the hard work is what changes our character and transforms us into who we become. We talk about why "getting out to train" is hard and why it IS part of the training. Racing is about overcoming challenge after challenge. That's what training prepares you for. To dig deeper and find that belief in yourself. We look at how our most successful and happy athletes approach their training and life. We want it to be easy, but it's not and there are no guarantees. The hard things change you.. .
