#671 – Micro Decisions for the Win

Today we look at the little decisions in training and racing that will take you to the next level. Understanding simple things like, the more fatigue you have, the longer the warm up, and today's success could be as simple as you getting out to move your body. We look into race mentality from the beginning of the swim until the end of the race, and why your tank should be full AFTER you get out of the water. We remind you that if you didn't swim or bike enough in training, don't act like you did in the race. We look at 2nd, 3rd, and 4th winds and how to find them. We talk about the power of incremental gains and why it's so important to control and understand your effort. Race practice can happen in every single training session if you know what to look for and today we define how you should feel at the end and what's the proper understanding of Emptying the Tank.  Topics: Texas camp and new swim camp Attitude is contagious  Stepping out of your comfort zone Surround yourself with the right people You never regret having coffee with a good friend 2nd, 3rd and 4th winds Athletes overestimate what they can do in three weeks Athletes underestimate what they can do in a year Flipping the micro and macro Micro decisions to START a workout The hardest part of a run is putting on your shoes The win for today is that you got out and moved Easy to lay in your excuses Don't make Macro decisions when you start Incremental gains and small increases Owning different paces, power and zones Own where you're at Do you have the mental capacity to hold on?
