Summary

Today, we go over important "ah ha" moments in our racing and coaching career. Things that changed the game for us as athletes and coaches. We look at why working on your strength is so important and can set the tone for your training. Also, why we tend to skimp on one of the sports. We talk about understanding effort and pacing and why being obsessed with pace, power, and time can be the worst strategy. Getting a grasp of your all day pace. Knowing when to hold back and when to let it rip. How we learned to grasp the concept of patience and how it pays off. Getting your ego out of the way and listening to your gut. 

Topics: 

  • Did we save the daylight?
  • When swimming dictates the process
  • Obstacles of getting into the workouts
  • When biking dictates the process
  • We all have a sport we think we can "skimp" on
  • Swimming can gas you
  • Feeling like you're under a microscope
  • Not giving a fuck about pace, power, and time
  • What's going to make you better??
  • Race your own race
  • No one cares
  • Pace Addiction
  • The Patience Message
  • Worry about YOUR body of work
  • Beating outside distractions
  • Taking MPH off your bike screen
  • "This" is what I think I can hold
  • Owning your race course
  • "Not yet"
  • "Now"
  • Get ego out of the way and listen to your gut
  • It's someone else's journey . . . follow your own
  • The Lap Button in the pool :)
