Today, we get into the essence of being a successful triathlete. It’s not always pretty or easy, but there are certain characteristics that give you a better shot at long-term success. Be completely in tune with the process and the reasons why you’re going through the process. There are thousands of distraction landmines out there and it’s hard to stay focused on the big picture. Today, we look at funks, and ruts, and high expectations. We talk about resisting impulses and staying the course. We talk about attention spans and the importance of figuring out what’s going on inside your own head before you make bad decisions. We also look at the pitfalls of going all in for one year and digging into a trap. We look at our marketing and training strategies and why they don’t always align with the popular perspective. Topics: Stay in your own game No bitching about the weather :)  Money is going into short course racing Find something you love and commit Training is like investing . . . start now and keep doing it Going ALL IN for One Year The best part is the journey When you get behind in training . . .  Figure out what’s going on in your own head first Landmines of distraction Are you doing it from a place of confidence, or lack of confidence? Confidence or fear? When we want to make sure we “still got it” Why do I feel the need to do this? Expectations Giving up Impulses  Hard conversations with yourself Moderation Our marketing strategy Stay the course  “Watch tonight or die” Simplicity is rarely simple Coaching Inquiries: Mike Tarrolly - CrushingIron@gmail.com Robbie Bruce - C26Coach@gmail.com www.c26triathlon.com
