139. The Pain of Preparation vs. The Pain of Consequence
from The Potential Project · host Sean Calhoun
In this episode, I break down my experience doing Hyrox DC with my friend Paul and the big lesson it taught me. I’m proud that we finished, but I also know I did not prepare the way I needed to. Not to win, but to perform at a level I could feel good about and recover from well.Hyrox exposed something that applies to every area of life... the discomfort it takes to prepare is usually far smaller than the discomfort of being unprepared and having to deal with the consequences after. I talk about how I let my lack of recovery become an excuse, what the event revealed, and why honesty with yourself is one of the most important parts of growth.This episode is about ownership, preparation, and learning the lesson before life has to keep teaching it to you.
