Summary

Modern life is loaded with inputs and sometimes we have to disconnect for our sanity. Today, we take a different perspective on the off-season. How can we get better without directly putting your energy into traditional triathlon activity? If you’re already jacked up about your race next Fall, you are probably running a little too rigid. There’s a time and place to sharpen the tip of the spear and starting now will likely lead to burnout. Give your mind and body some space to refuel with different angles that relate to your overall health and well-being. Relax and get back to your true center.

Topics:

Feels like a harsh winter
Training in cold vs. heat
Distance yourself from the grind
Time to experiment
Load management syndrome
Disconnect and re-energize
We need space
Take time away to think freely
Fend off burnout
Experimenting in your own mind
Too Much Input
It’s all about energy
Favorite bands with only two good albums
When it’s forced
Rigidity eats you up
Overload and obsession
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance
Sharpening the tip of the spear
Connecting non-connecting ideas to triathlon
