Call me a woos


Ok, was to go swimming today. Sara gave me a nice little program which I really want to try but ... its -33c, 24k winds & feels like -48c. Let me put it this way, not happening. Not today anyway.
Call me a woos, I don't care.

Commit

Another crazy, busy weekend. I attended a Triathlon Camp in Calgary hosted by Sara Gross, Carrie Meakin & Clint Lien. It started with some of the worst icy roads I've been on and ended with a Grey Cup game.
One of the things that really stuck in my mind was the the word "commit". We were learning how to do flip turns but every time I came to the wall I wouldn't tuck well enough and missed the flip. Clint kept saying commit, commit. Two things we fear is the risk of injury and the risk of failure or being embarrassed; neither is going to happen. Commit. Didn't completely make it this time around but that word stuck in my mind. I used it at a training session this morning for a difficult routine and it works. Try it, concentrate on the word the next time you have to do something you think you can't do. You can and will do it.
