A lot of us are about to race Ironman Louisville, and dare we say this podcast holds the secret to being happier with your performance? Really, though, there are no secrets, you just have to stay within yourself and race smart. Today we talk about the best ways to do that.  • The chaos of Ironman Facebook Groups • 10 Days to Ironman Louisville • The Only Thing You Control Is . . . • The Only Way You’ll Make Up Time, Is To Not Try and Make Up Time • How To Race Without Power or Hear Rate • Kona Contest • Taper Tantrums • Weather Wars  - not to be confused with Info Wars • Loneliness - Community in Triathlon • Re-Activating Your WHY • Enhancing Perspective in a Positive Way • Are you Happy With Your Path? • Playing Small Ball • What if you come out of the swim slower than you want? • The Mistake of Chasing Minutes Support the Crushing Iron podcast on Patreon, where the community pledge is only $3.26 per month.
