We love you all! Thanks for listening to our podcasts. Today, we look at winning and how that means different things to different people. We talk about ways to reframe your definition of winning, and how we confuse sacrifices with making choices. Some of this is focused on "The Last Dance" documentary with Michael Jordan and how he shaped competition and winning. Most of us can learn from that, but . . . it's also important to realize we are not Michael Jordan. There's also stuff on how to make faster transitions. Topics: How racing may look different this year You need to become self-sufficient at races Being faster in transition - Walk the swim to transition path Count and landmark your bike Towels aren't just for kids Helmet on bike shoes Walk the bike-in Keep it lean Leaving transition with ice Pick up your water bottle if you drop it In-race is not the time to wing it What is winning? Michael Jordan's Last Dance Discussion Winning is relative Michael Phelps struggles The mental side of winning How much are you willing to sacrifice? Sacrifice vs. Choice Can you be the best without being an ass? Life changes in an instant Why aren't you enjoying this?
