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.
Hey!! Nice to meet you at camp and very nice to know I have such cool teamies on the Mercury Rising Team!! Looking forward to seeing how your committment takes you to new places!! Take Care!!
ReplyDeleteWas nice to meet you! Follow my blog, or Jenna's to Julies, and look for the videos she has there, mid October or so. Those will help you build confidence doing flip turns, even if it looks stupid playing with the pool noodle.
ReplyDeleteA blog is a great way to build accountability for training.
hi there! Nice to hear you made it home through that weather alive, yikes! Good luck with that tumble turn, I say they are over rated---hahha, just kidding. I hope your training goes well this winter and i will be reading about your pain on here. take care!!!
