Triathlon is all about pacing and this goes for workouts, races, and your entire season. Today we look at how the phases of a year can affect you mentally, emotionally, physically and even spiritually. Are you expecting too much from yourself too soon? Do you overthink every little metric? Are you working on getting better in the right ways? TSS scores…. What do they really show? Are your goals really healthy? Are you changing for the sake of changing and the dopamine hits?
