On the heels of Ironman 70.3 Atlantic City and Augusta we dive into perspective. So many things can go wrong in training, racing, and life, but there's always a way to shift perspective. How do you really believe you belong? You're a swimmer, you're a cyclist, you're a runner. Believe it. As Ryan Holiday says, "The Obstacle Is The Way."

• Is Your Mindset Straight Before A Race
• Poolside Selfies
• Getting A Great Perspective
• Crying On The Run
• Racing In The Heat - Never a Dull Moment

One of our favorite authors is Charles Bukowski and his famous saying is, "Don't Try." We think what he means is, "Don't try to be someone you're not" and while it obviously applies to life, it hits hard for a lot of athletes in triathlon. Perfecting any craft is a slow burn and at the core is being realistic with yourself and your goals. It can also make the experience much more rewarding and fun.
