About this episode
We just finished our June Volume Camp and learned a lot of lessons about facing challenges and leaving our comfort zones. Today, we talk about how pushing yourself into unfamiliar situations can be can help you be a better triathlete, grow in life and get closer to the person you want to become. Normalizing discomfort can be how we get better. Topics: The things that matter A do or die high Re charging your life Trying to control the narrative around comfort levels How action meets accountability Why work so hard with no races? Growth opportunities in Triathlon Familiarity and comfort Varying courses and challenges Being totally comfortable is active recovery Taking pain and discomfort as danger Perceived and real fear feel the exact same Growing with uncomfortable situations "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?" Are you progressing or regressing? Comfortable being fine? What challenges do for us Possibilities are unique to ourselves "We barely scratch the surface" - you're truly never done Our experiences are everything Isolation and anxiety Our responsibility to build connection right now They need some Muncie Volunteers, especially the day before the race in the Athlete Registration (Athlete Check in). So if you're racing or have family going, they'd love your help and it's a great way to help this race get things going in the right direction for our season! https://ironman.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=47849 The C26 Online Hub is now open to the public!
