Summary
With about nine weeks before the USA Triathlon Long Course Aquabike Championships, Dimity (not super competitive by nature) taps into the wisdom of Coaches Jen and Liz (both super competitive by nature) to help her get into a Racing mindset.
Tune in to hear the three discuss:
—How important it is to consciously engaging during any race—and especially a long endurance one;
—What Dimity can do differently in training (or why watching Hoarders is probably not a great idea);
—Why we often make excuses for not stepping up into a workout;
—And Coach Liz's helpful personal mantra when she flies to any race.

| 1:03.7 | Welcome to AMR Trains, a podcast about training and racing and endurance sports. |
| 1:08.0 | I'm Dimitri McDowell, co-founder of anothermotherrunner. If you listen to any of recent podcasts |
| 1:13.7 | in the AMR family, you likely know I've been training for the Aquabike Long Course National |
| 1:18.5 | Championships, which will be held in the end of September in Harriman State Park, which is near |
| 1:23.6 | New York City. And to be clear, Aquabike is not riding your bike on the water. It is in fact, |

| 1:34.1 | So I hired coaches Jen and Liz as my private coaches for a variety of reasons. |
