#933 – Ironman 70.3 Rockford
Fresh off a "jump in" race in his former stomping grounds, Mike talks about his experience at Ironman 70.3 Rockford. We get into pre-race, the strategy, adapting strategy, the current, the wind, the roads, the volunteers, and much more. We really dive into some tough questions/decisions for triathletes about how to be "satisfied" with your effort. It's a lonely place on that second loop of the run and it's usually the time in a race when you make or break the day. This cast is really a good place to ask yourself some questions and figure out if you're giving it your all or finding ways to give in. Topics: Rockford as a host city Pre-Race decisions Goals for the day and adjustments Swim Course Strong Current Strategy in the water Recalibrating goals on the fly Bike course Tougher than Chatt? Wind strategy Recovery opportunities Another decision off the bike Run/walk or run? Battling the run Mental game Breaking up the run Nutrition Nope Are perfect builds overrated?

#932 – Just Go For It
The guys discuss Mike's last minute registration for Rockford 70.3 and the concept of jumping into a race on a whim. They go through the challenges but mostly the benefits and why he'll approach it more like a practice test than a training day. There's a lot to be said for feeling the race environment. The nerves, the speed, and the race energy. It's all waiting and it will be a great 10,000 foot view for an A-Race later in the season. Topics: Why Mike ultimately signed up The approach without a typical build and taper Pacing and racing test Durability check in Why it's a good idea to jump in late What will be the challenges Staying calm when swept up in competition Rockford's course and strategies What can be learned for Ironman later in the year Approaching the swim, bike, and run Staying under control but flirting with edges A $500 triathlon immersion seminar Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

#931 – Clear Mind and Strong Training
Many times frustration is caused by exhaustion or overstimulation. Today, we look at real ways to reduce your distractions, find a calmer mind, and be stronger in training. We are under a continual assault of information and, at some point, we have to ask: do we have enough information yet? So much of training and racing is being in the moment and at one with yourself, but how do we get there? We'll talk about some good ways to find your true self, appreciate who you are and respect your journey. Training should be a vehicle to build your energy, not take it away. It should be hard, but not miserable. Topics: Busy racing weekend! Cruise to clear the mind Reducing distractions Energizing yourself Getting out of the haze Reducing stimulation takes time Let your body settle into the race Constant loop of stress Mike just started swimming again When we're not rooted in reality The 48 Hour race decision Be mindful Living off the grid AI Data Centers When do we have enough information? Every workout is not an indictment on self worth Parents as the old AI Immediate reactions - sit on them Extreme posting Figure out who you are Then don't try to be someone you're not Next podcast: Facing fears Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

929 – Stroking Your Ego or Making Progress?
Sometimes we have to understand why we're bitching all the time and uncover the best way to enjoy training and life. Today we start by discussing dopamine detox and how that might help us enjoy the simpler things in training. It sort of morphs into this discussion about how we can create an excitement trap that has us satiating the ego vs making progress. More races, more intensity, more burnout? More depression? How do we snap this cycle and find satisfaction with a Zone 2 buzz? We also look into the power of training by breath alone. How it can help you fall back in love with training that can otherwise make you want to cry. And finally, are we all chasing inflammation? Topics: Dopamine detox Power and yada yada More is getting lost than found Ego or growth? What's your why… no really. What are we trying to accomplish today? How much does Ironman make off of DNS? I want it now Lowering the dopamine input Be strong in your journey Morning routine The sensation vs. the superlatives Z2 is a great buzz Zones by breath Controlled ventaliztion Help your riding . . . help your mood I can't take any more intensity Chasing inflammation Walking is gold.

#928 – It's All About The Challenge
After a weekend of racing and our Nashville Triathlon Camp, once again, we're reminded that we got into this sport for the challenge. This is really the best thing to keep in your mind whenever we tackle something difficult. There are no guarantees other than the opportunity to grow and be stronger. We do this for the opportunity and the more challenging the training or race, most often, the more memorable. Triathlon lessons never stop, it's up to us to embrace them. Topics: The Nashville Camp Jacksonville and Chatt 70.3 At home training camp? The key is to be free Chatt 70.3 and Jax swims What's a slow swim? Would you rather have a fast swim or cancelled swim? New Races Introduction or retention strategy? Influencers ruining things Engaged in the challenge Want the cost more than the dream Easy, glamorous, shiny expensive Riding older bikes No guarantees Don't miss the opportunity What makes this memorable You remember the experience Thriving in discomfort Forcing yourself to be better No guarantees in racing Triathlon lessons never stop Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

#927 – Find Something That Breaks You
Today, we talk about a topic that a lot of us who've been in the sport a while need to think about. How to break ourselves down like we did in the beginning. Life is about being alive and challenging ourselves. We take a look at the lure of comfort and how to shake things up. Once again, we explore the reasons why we do this, and how the edges of challenge and pain shift. We look at why it's so important to face simple fears and things we don't want to do and how to use these wins. For us, triathlon has always been about breaking up the rocks, but in many ways it also becomes about tending to them in a positive way so they don't fuse back together. Topics: Live every day Get along German Endurance Feast Robbie's Rewind The medal returns Obsession with comfort Find something that's gonna break you Breaking up the rocks Pain as a precursor to growth Your race time vs. the pursuit Back to that primal feeling Do what scares you Why do we do this? What is improvement When we fake it until we can't anymore Life circumstances and resilience Breaking things down over and over Good times, soft men Tending to your broken rocks Fake endorphines Tackle a simple fear Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

#926 – Practice Being Uncomfortable
On some level we all dread the wind, the heat, the cold, the rough water, and the hills, but how do you learn to love it all for training benefit? Today, we look at the transition from indoors to outdoors and why it can be a shock to the system. We look at ways to build confidence and calm while preparing for anything in a race environment. How do you break out of your own personal matrix and create situations that will help you put your body in charge when the mind wants to run wild. We look at avoiding the inevitable and getting more and more comfortable with tough situations as the season rolls on. Topics: Early season outdoor training Differences between indoor and outdoor The benefits of each Pool swims vs open water and how to break them up Trainer and outside riding variables Treadmill and the road mix Focusing on good posture and form Breaking out of your comfort matrix Avoiding the inevitable Is it chop or just water texture? Is it windy or just some wind? Cries for comfort Uncontrollable's are uncomfortable Going from the Symphony to Rage Against the Machine Life spans and loneliness Mindless mind You aren't guaranteed "extra space" in a race Repetition to train the body to lead RPE as it applies to understanding flow Thoughts that pass without engagement or judgement Don't avoid it Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com
