While my weekend at the beach was far from challenging and the picture below proves this to be true, I have been challenged as of late by a few other things, some painful and some wonderful. I begin this Monday armored with a few reminders on my desk to give me perspective, inspired by the Olympics:
1. Stay limber - in thought and body
2. Be a team player - support those around you while making certain to take care of your own training
3. Treasure the victories of each day
4. Enjoy the warm up and stretch a little further than you think you can
5. Be a coach to others by encouraging them and seek coaches to help you with your own struggles
6. Don't get overwhelmed by the magnitude of the race - take each heat as it comes
6. Find what you love and you will find gold
