Flipping through a Chicago sport magazine, I came across a Cannondale advertisement (kinda' partial to this brand). The ad: "Test Ride Reason #40: It Has Heart, Ready To Attack." I tend to be a sucker for inspiring words, mantras & quotes. A few years ago, watching a Navy Seal documentary, one man interviewed said "mind before matter - if you don't mind it doesn't matter." This quote inspired us through several long marathon seasons.
Back in high school, our swim coach used a visualizing technique combined with a self selected buzz word. His intent - to power us through our race. Kirstin's buzz word: "SNICKERS." Yes, the candy bar! But don't laugh, she qualified for state & maintains a huge sweet tooth. Curious about her ironman word/quote? Ideas are welcomed!
Anyway, we're in need of buzz words & suggestions to power us through the next several weeks of our training.
