Episode 80: Using philosophy as race week preparation for my first 70.3


Listen Later

It's RACE WEEK! 

I've been building towards my first 70.3 for months and it's finally the week to put it all together. I've found that to get the most meaning out of these big time events that require tremendous effort and sacrifice it's best to pause and reflect on the big picture of the journey. Specifically, how you've grown as a person towards your best potential through the build to race day.

This helps both aim our eyes towards the real prize of the contest and make us feel light and without pressure on race day. The work is done. All that's left to do is celebrate. 

I dive deep into the way in which I've been pulled towards this day and how an understanding of Carl Jung's dream analysis as a mediator between conscious and unconscious minds helps me understand the moment of personal transcendence I've been aiming at through training and competing in my first triathlon.

This goes out to the ones who have the deep call on the inside that know they must do something big, that a dream exists for them to realize, and how we navigate through the resistance and challenges to make them happen when it's the right time, the right place, and the right moment for you to rise to your best self.
