@cruz_kotarski: 1. Swimming can be scary but the only way I got over it and you will too is if you consistently try doing it. 2. Fitness > gear. No matter how expensive your bike is, if you’re not fit, you will still not get a fast time. 3. Cheering from people you care about can really make a big difference, especially when you get tired and want to slow down. 4. Nutrition is a no brainer, eat high nutrient dense foods and you will feel and preform better. 5. Building muscle is very doable with proper eating (calories and protein) and lifting heavy #hybridathlete #triathlon #triathlontraining #athlete
