This blog is ostensibly about a very long swim. But the bit I really want to reflect on is the power of the right (or wrong) mindset to impact on your physical strength and general wellbeing. I had a really interesting physical reaction in the water which I want to explore a bit.
Jess Rushton - Outlaw Triathlon
Clumber Park Duathlon
Just before the finish, I caught Jess on her first lap. I gave her a friendly shout as I approached which I instantly regretted as she tried to look over her shoulder and veered off the road onto the grass verge before shakily recovering her line. “Eyes on the road, you dopey bastard.” Great coaching, Gareth.
