Summary

One of the hardest things about triathlon is staying on point with three different sports. Today, we look at tendencies that develop with triathletes and how we can find our sweet spots from one day to the next. We get into your history and experience in each sport and talk about how that can lead you down a certain road. We look at finding motivation to believe in yourself as a swimmer, cyclist, and runner. Do you need to mix things up a little bit, find new scenery, or just take a step back? What are some ways to be in and stay in the moment? It’s tough to remember, but just when things seem to be the toughest is when you’re close to making a breakthrough. Hang tough and be right where you are.

Topics:

  • Lambeau Field
  • Is the hay in the barn?
  • Mike and Robbie’s musical preferences for training
  • When you’re signed up but start having second thoughts
  • Lawn mowing
  • What’s your good distraction escape?
  • Do you classify yourself as a swimmer, cyclist, or runner?
  • Can you separate each sport in your mind?
  • Paralyzed by too many choices
  • Emotional runs
  • Scenery and environment changes
  • What brings you into the moment?
  • Breathing through tough points in training
  • Why do we like certain races?
  • Finding a way to be grateful
  • Bring the mass start back
  • Music talk
