I want to begin with some basic content that a few folks asked me to share right off the bat, mostly regarding motivation.  Triathlon is a sport that requires motivation in spades! It requires constant diligence and dedication, and dare I say slightly more optimism that many other sports.  Few other spots beat you up physically 15-20 hours per week, on both land and water. There are times during races when you feel like not only have you performed underneath yourself, but so poorly that you consider dropping the sport completely off your calendar.  This is a mental constant struggle for triathletes trying to become more competitive, and many of us have at least one race that marks the low water mark of our confidence, so to speak, that makes us want to throw in the towel.

Personal resilience is EVERYTHING.

Read my article on Examiner.com for free about a race last season that made me question my own motivation: CLICK HERE.

Once I get organized, I’m going to lay out my route to Ironman triathlon.  From training for strength and power in the off months, to the brutal 9 month race season that will begin in full force me in November, 2009, taking me to my goal of completing FOUR Ironman Triathlons in 2010, along with a handful of Olympic races.  I’ll do my best to link my articles in as they become available so they coincide with my training.
