181 - IRONMAN© Louisville - Sam Long Professional Triathlete

I begin the IRONMAN© Louisville series with my friend and Professional Triathlete Sam Long. The race was cut short in the swim to a little less than a mile and it was raining mostly all day. This made for a mentally challenging day for the competitors and from a preparation standpoint of what athletes should wear on the course. The tactics he used to stay warm and somewhat dry is worth listening to and taking note. One of the biggest takeaways is how not to allow negative thought enter your mind when times are tough and some ways to deal with the negative thoughts. Thanks for coming on the show and I look forward to following you in your career next season!-Enjoy the show.
