I'm injured, again! Vaccine sickness, nerve compression. When will it stop? Time to bring out my mantra around accepting what I can't control.

My mom is worried about my knee health? Should she be?

We were all newbies at one point! Every newcomer to the sport is nervous or anxious about some element of triathlon and  in this episode I think back to my first time in the sport, how each element gave me some  issues and how I eventually overcame.

Many of us want to be as fast as possible in our races. Imagine if someone handed you a voucher that removed minutes from your race time for free (or a small fee)? Many of us would take that deal. Well, turns out that you CAN buy "free" speed.

How do we know if we are ready? What thought plague our minds? Are waterproof shoes actually waterproof? In this episode I share with you all my hopes and fears!

How do you know where that sweet spot is between training hard enough and training too hard? Is training too hard (to your detriment) even a thing? In this episode I wax poetic about the perils of overtraining.

All things considered, what is the best race distance? It's the one you that works best for you.

What makes a "legit" triathlete? Doing an Ironman? What if I don't want to do an Ironman, what if I don't have the time to train, what if all I can do is Sprint distances, does that make me a lesser triathlete?

NO. If you race any distance, it all involves swimming, cycling and running as best as you can and THAT is the definition of a triathlete. Hold your head proud. You [name] are a TRIATHLETE!

What are some of the most common triathlon training mistakes and how can we avoid them? Buckle up as I go through a list and be sure to grab your lube and use it generously (thus, avoiding mistake #8).

As a triathlete, you are special. You are participating in a sport that is not common, that many people shake their heads at as something that is extreme or unattainable. But you do it! You train consistently and reap all of the rewards of this fantastic sport. So take a moment to reflect on the fact that you are doing something special! Way to go, athlete.
