Summary

Today we revisit our why and how it can be difficult to keep the right perspective on why we do hard things. For a lot of people “easy” is the new “right” but triathletes take the hard route. The mind will give out before the body and there are hundreds of triggers telling you to stop or quit. The “told you so” folks are always out there. This has to be your journey and there’s a lot more reward from choosing the tougher path. Don’t be afraid to fail. Throw yourself to the elements and be alive. 

Topics:

  • Early morning coffee prep
  • Forgetting your watch . . . . 
  • Pain as an ally 
  • Triathlete Island 
  • This is our life to craft
  • Missing our primal pursuits
  • Training is what we do to figure things out 
  • Exploring our boundaries 
  • Why do you do it?
  • The body has to move 
  • Figure things out and find life
  • Easy is the new “right” 
  • The “told you so” folks
  • I just want to feel good
  • I do this for myself
  • Easy comes from doing hard things
  • Isolation comfort zone
  • Safety over freedom 
  • Afraid to fail 
  • Avoiding the elements 
  • The mind gives out before the body
  • Neuromuscular connection
  • Controlled soft
  • Protecting ourselves
