#531 – Training Should GIVE You Energy . . . not take it away

Published: Nov. 18, 2021, 5:42 p.m.

What do you want to get out of life? In many ways, this is a podcast to inspire you to go after what you really want, and let triathlon HELP that process. This is the end of a tough two years and the struggle has been real for many. We’ve “learned” to take the safe way out and not explore life. Today, we talk about getting out there, trying things you’re afraid of, and how to reinvigorate your spirit. We both feel like this can be a time for optimism if we keep our minds right.
