Summary

Now is the time to look deep inside and figure out where you want to go, what makes you happy, and how to find love of the process. We look at the post season mindset and investigate how what we learned can be a catalyst going forward. What do we really need to work on? Strength, endurance, overall health, attitude, our why? We also talk about how just sticking around and staying in the ballpark can make you a completely different athlete next season. We are often too deep in the inertia to realize how far we’ve come and how this sport and training has made us stronger and healthier people. It’s a time to reflect, appreciate, and keep moving forward.

Topics:

We failed in our Chart predictions
“I swear I’m never doing this again.”
Testament to the human spirit
Ironman finishin lines
The red carpet feeling
Post Ironman mindset
Going out into the wilderness that is an Ironman
Post race roller coaster
The best way to having a short build
Starting a new season in the same way but expecting change
Year round consistency
Hidden weekend off
Rejuvenating and refreshing
When our training plans become outlines and menus with choice
Don’t try to prove something too soon
Understand what makes you healthy and don’t live in sickness
Now is the time to figure your shit out
No deadline problem solving
Getting better looks like a lot of different things
