#760 – Seek Discomfort

Crushing Iron Triathlon Podcast

This title is an homage to one of our favorite YouTube channels, you can find it here: Seek Discomfort

The Seek Discomfort crew is always looking for things that intimidate them. Experiences that lead to growth.

And we should do the same within our comfort zone, especially when it comes to conditions. The more you get out into “imperfect” weather, the more you will be at ease when your race day isn’t 70 and partly cloudy. Today, we go through some of our experiences and perspectives on how to build all the pieces in the puzzle. To be mentally strong to pair with your physical fitness.

Racing IS discomfort and the more you expose yourself to it, the more confident you’ll be no matter the conditions.

Do it now, because on race day, you don’t have a choice.
