There's something really special about knowing your friends and family are waiting for you out on the course. It's a feeling of excitement and belonging that's difficult to replicate. Today, we look at ways to find similar moments in training while most races are off the board. We also challenge you to ask if you're wasting time and finding excuses. Plus, will Ironman offer better races under new ownership? Topics: Reminded of how important the sport is to us The trouble with chasing “balanced” Keep chipping away Living in the present but being aware of what’s coming When priorities shift Complimenting Life with Sport The feeling that takes us back to racing How it feels to see loved ones on the race course These are the good old days How to appreciate TODAY We have no idea when we’re gonna see the finish line Why it’s so hard right now It’s the suffering that brings us together No finish line has been set up It feels like the old Louisville Run Course “I never would have done this on my own” How others raise our game Are we wasting time and finding excuses Is Mike Tarrolly reaching his potential Wake up with the intent to get better? You Can’t Take a Pause In This Journey Ironman changes Hands Will Ironman be better with the new Ownership? ---------------- The C26 Online Hub is now open to the public!
