Episode 235 — Do You Smile When You Race?

In this episode, I share reflections from the Wasa Lake Triathlon — a day of cheering, filming, chatting with athletes, and watching how people move through a race. Some athletes smiled. Some didn't. And it made me wonder: what does a smile say about how we experience effort, challenge, and joy in triathlon?

From early‑morning drone flights to PB bagels on a bench, to watching athletes push through the tough moments, this episode explores the subtle power of smiling during a race — and how it might actually change the way we perform.

I'll also share a story from years ago that opened my eyes to what's possible when we stay present, grateful, and human on the race course.

So here's the question: When you race… do you smile?

Happy Training! :)
