This is the pursuit of figuring yourself out. What makes you tick, how does triathlon complement and support your life. Where do you want to go from here and what does personal success look like. We talk about the little things and why they should matter. The off-season is a process that can go one of two ways. Why it’s so important to stay in the game if you want to get faster. We get into post-race-depression, why it happens, and how you can change. No more putting your true self on the back burner.  Topics: Short football talk - Go Vols, Boo Badgers The Finish Line “feels” Celebrating Accomplishment Life’s too short not to celebrate the little wins  The 24 Hour Chip Small Victories It’s hard to be proud Rewarding a bored society Feeling good is The Goal Stressed Kids Parents using kids as a vessel  Intrinsically Motivated  When triathlon takes over your life The pursuit of figuring yourself out One Day Celebrations vs. a lot of mini parties Post race depression Self talk “I suck”  Everything is “in between”  Putting yourself on the back burner We lose fitness quickly De-Training Mode  --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.
