Hello Team,

I hope you had a great weekend. Congratulations to all of the athletes who raced this weekend.

Every single race that we do, there is a lesson to be learned. We could do all the training in the world with perfect conditions; however, on race day, what matters is how mentally prepared we are for the unexpected to occur. Mental toughness and true GRIND is what makes us different from the rest, being prepared for the unexpected and making the right choices is what matters.

I have taugh my athletes to push through pain and to work hard. Never giving up and pushing through anything is one of our core values of the central Florida Tri CLub and Tri Peak Athlete.

This week is race week for many of you, and I expect all of you to perform your best. I don’t care if you come dead last, but when I ask you my athlete “Did you do your best?” I expect the answer to be “Yes!” If doubt ever comes your way, I want to go back to all of the training, to all of the Burpees, all of the yardage in the pool, the times I’ve asked you to jump in cold water when you didn’t want to, all this 800 on the track when it was cold outside, wall balls, push-ups, lunges, squats, and assault bike workouts and remember how hard you pushed. Excuses are not acceptable! Excuses are tools of the incompetent used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothing!I know what you are capable of, it is time to Grind!
