Happy New Year from C26!
Today we start with . . . Information, disinformation, and disorientation. That’s where we’re at, and today we look at the power of simplicity with triathlon training. Sometimes our highest priorities get left in the dust because we’re shellshocked by all the information. Most of the time you should go easy, some of the time you should go hard. Find what you love most and fall in line.
Topics:
- Information, disinformation, and disorientation.
- Word of the year - simplify
- Phase of disorientation
- The highest priority can often be the last thing done
- Triathlon only focus . . .
- Jordan, Kobe, Seth
- In some ways it’s never been harder
- If it doesn’t feel easy we are doing it wrong
- The power of mixing it up
- Most of the time easy
- Sometimes hard
- People who are lost vs. people who know they are lost
- What do you DON’T want
- Finding what you love the most
- If it’s not an immediate yes, it’s a no

#824 – It's Time To Be Yourself
The saying goes, “new year, new me,” but should it be, “new year, real me?” Today, we look at goals from a perspective of picking ones that will actually align with who you are as a person and athlete. We talk about why being healthy is a great ideal, but it can also be vague without diving in a little deeper. We look at building a strong foundation as a person and how to spend time wisely in the right direction. Now is the time to eliminate the “fake goals” that have been creeping into your life, and truly uncover who you really are.
Topics:
- Figuring out who you really are and what you want
- Standing in line
- Goals can be anything
- Do your goals make sense for you?
- Egos and past selves
- Being too excitable
- Always being ready to say yes
- Being healthy is very vague
- Pay attention to what feels good and why
- The best athletes think of triathlon as a lifestyle
- Building a strong foundation as a person
- Training in solitude
- Holiday parties
- I want MORE
- Spend 2 hours a week working on you
- Do you feel strong? Did you feel good?
- The goal is to be more grounded in who you are
- Fake goals. Fake Failures
