Yoga. Critical thinking. Questions covered below. 
Topics:
You Know your body better than anyone Ask yourself these questions Critical thinking The most overrated graph in Training Peaks The biggest thing you need to wrap around your mind Reframe your mindset In order to peak, you have to shed Stop letting Training Peaks drive your life  Is there a swim workout that can be done in open water or is the workout to just swim. Like 500m easy 500m hard.  – Arin Christiensen Joshua - what is core work we can do? Feel for the water What’s an acceptable lake temperature for swimming?  When your next race has been postponed until the fall. How do you maintain your current gains in fitness until it’s time for the hard work to start leading up to that race? – Erni Quezada This is my question also. I went straight from a 70.3 to Doing Disney’s Dopey challenge and then a month later did 2 half marathons that were each a PR within 7 days...... and now, nothing until October is on the calendar... I don’t want to lose my fitness. – Julia Mayhew What is the biggest challenge that you think athletes are facing right now - staying motivated? under training? overtraining? Nutrition? - and how best to stay on top of it? – Samual “Arthur” Browning You bought a training plan, now what?? Nutrition: right now is the time. Ironman is sold? Ironman virtual races for Kona slots? What's an acceptable lake temperature with wet suit, no gloves or boots... This is a question for Mike Tarrolly...you’re a big advocate for yoga and meditation...i could sure use some guidance for diverting my mental and physical energy away from my hospital right now...so is there a particular individual or app that you’d recommend for a beginner looking to incorporate more yoga or meditation to help reduce stress?
