About this episode
Imagine if, like basketball in March Madness, this race might be the last triathlon of your life. How would you handle the pressure? Would you have a nothing to lose mentality filled with grace, or would you be uptight and stressed. Today, we look at the many different ways we can clear our mind, respect the moment, and take advantage of our ability. There are no guarantees in life, it's up to us to let go of fear, be in the moment, and explore our opportunities. Topics: The purest time in sport Lack of confidence vs. nothing to lose You can't Freeze The Pressure Age Groupers put on themselves We Pay to do this You might never do this again Race Morning Chill There are no guarantees At the core of it all is grace Nothing to lose mentality Fear of things that never happen What are you meant to do? The triathlon relationships Take your breaks off We have to take advantage of the opportunities Go out and explore your race Losing weight Just relax: in the pool, on the bike, and on the run How and why we hold tension Quit THINKING about your stroke Ditching devices How not to be nervous Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.
