About this listen

Training for an event can drastically shift your schedule. It may dictate what you eat, your sleeping patters, social habits, and daily priorities. For me, I have found that training towards a goal helps me set a schedule and reminds me of my "why". I feel like there is intention behind the daily choices I make. The hardest part for me is not the training and build up before the race, but rather the calm that takes place after. I struggle to figure out what to do with all my new found time. 

On September 18th, a group of 27 of us went to Orcas Island, WA to compete in a swimrun. This race consisted of 22 miles of trail running and 3 miles of swimming, broken up into 12 different legs. I wanted to record my thoughts prior to this adventure, and listen back after, to see how they hold up to the experience I had. 

Now that the race is over, the post race blues have hit. Although it is nice having a bit more time, I miss the consistency in my schedule. I miss the commitment to one goal. 

Hope yall enjoy listening, and stay tuned for the Post Orcas Race Recap, next week.
