We shouldn't decide to go pro or quit based on one workout . . . or race. The key to racing well is enjoying training, and that takes patience. The short-term power in being able to let go of the outcome. The ability to "be in the moment" is much different than being a prisoner of that moment and today we lay out several different ways to stay energized about the long-term potential of your triathlon experience. Topics include:  Quick World Series recap and analogy of how you can be more like the Astros. Progress Not Perfection  Don’t Cut Down the forest, keep planting  Do you have the courage to let go of the outcome? Prisoner of the Moment Shiny new objects How do you enjoy “what is?” Making workouts attainable Enjoying getting better Hurry Slowly PRs without intent Why smiling makes you faster Mike's crazy Ironman dream and his "Old man Twitter" habits    If you like the Crushing Iron podcast, you can support us here.
