Tautness and body line. Also, being relaxed but athletically engaged. We don't muscle the water, we work with it.

Sometimes we take for granted to foundations for things. I love playing around with floating. Body awareness/movement and body line are key in a sport like swimming. Who can challenge their floating skills?

Why we training too hard all the time does not actually make you stronger--it inhibits aerobic fitness (which is key for triathlon racing).

Alan Couzens@Alan_Couzens

👏 Chronic exposure to lactate = * Decreased fatty acid transport * Increased free radical production * Bad news! Our focus should be on easy training that develops strong, functional mitochondria that can keep lactate levels managed.

Do you know how to duck dive under ocean surf? It's a valuable skill, especially if you are racing the the @herbalife24triathlon or @ironmantri #IM703Oceanside. ⁠ ⁠ Learn at our beach workouts--Wednesdays in Santa Monica or Sundays in Redondo Beach. tower26.com/beach/

The only way to get where you want to go is to start from where you are. Not where you want to be. Not where you think you should be. Not where you wish you were. Not where others think you should be. But where you are. It’s amazing how much we mess this up. We don’t have to.

Age group athletes take note: concern yourself with the process and execution of your training and racing and the results will come. Next time you say "not the race I wanted", ask yourself why, and what was it that you wanted in the first place? A result?
