Get Acclimated to Going Aero
By Matt Russ
I often work with athletes who are brand new to triathlon or have just a season under their belts. After realizing the disadvantage of competing on a traditional road bike, many make the decision to move to a tri bike. This can, unfortunately, be a painful process. Read more . . .

Parting Thought- Never Try 
I will try" is not a positive affirmation. To try is to simply make an attempt, and then leave the rest to chance. It lets in the possibility of failure and doubt. It is a ready excuse- "I tried." If you really want to accomplish a goal, start off by making sure it is reasonable and attainable. The next step is to doggedly pursue it. Use positive affirmations such as "I will succeed," "I can accomplish this," "I will do my absolute best." Play these over and over in your head. Now doesn't that sound better than "I will try?"

There are those that try and there are those that succeed. Finding out what side of the fence you land on is largely a choice. Start by eliminating "try" from your vocabulary. You may not succeed in achieving your goal, but it you gave it your 100% best effort you are a success.
