This episode tackles four real listener questions covering everything from committing to vlogging and training goals, to preparing for your first race and targeting events like New York City Triathlon. You'll get practical advice on structured training, learning from experienced riders, and why racing is a skill that takes time to master.
"Figure out what success looks like, figure out what successful people do, and learn from them—you don't necessarily need to forge this trail for the forest by ourselves"
"Racing has been one of the best turning points in my life when I started racing—it was the beginning of a journey which set me off traveling around the world and on a personal exploration"
"It's so much fun racing, and you're going to love it—it's not as dangerous as people believe if you take some precautionary steps and use basic common sense"
“think to any target you want to achieve and work any target you want to achieve in life figure out what success looks like figure get around successful people and less now you can also learn from unsuccessful people take notes on both negative and positive on the negative the notes are called what not to do and you got to learn what not to do as well as what to do”
“race is a different dynamic it's not the fastest person wins court otherwise we wouldn't turn up the races we just lost it on the Swift it's a skill it's a craft and it's apprenticeship and it takes some years to hone this”
“join my club don't try and do this on your own it's like I said before could be people in the globe who have made all the mistakes you're gonna make you know you need to learn from mistakes but they don't need to be your mistakes”
