Summary

If you thought we would have a big celebration for #800, you are absolutely right! Today, we talk about how doing hard things like triathlon can be fun, even when they’re not on the surface. We look at defeating race anxiety, lowering expectations while still performing well, fr-framing fun and what that means inside a race. We talk about respecting the distance and creating a healthy amount of fear no matter how confident you are. We look at the power in embracing the mystery, finding wins in figuring out the process. We talk about brining solutions and not problems into your life. Raising your mental game, breaking through the comfort zone, different levels of pain tolerance and if what we did was really hard or not. Celebrate 800 podcasts by shifting your perspective.
