Tips from
Tassie
by Coach
Bri Gaal
There are so many traits
that my dog has that I wish I could instill into
my life. For example, she is ALWAYS happy in the
morning, no matter what the time. It's as if she's
thinking, "A brand new day! Yay!" She gets
incredibly excited when we take her for a run, and
is very sad when we don't. I don't necessarily
want to be spinning in circles (ala Tassie) at the
beginning of every run, but I do wish I could be
that eager for most of them - I am doing something
I love, after all.
Another trait
Tassie has is she absolutely won't quit. She has
been trying to catch a squirrel ever since we
brought her home almost four years ago, and has
continually failed, but that doesn't stop her. If
she spies one in the backyard she lets you know
that she has to get outside RIGHT NOW.
Unfortunately, although she is very fast, she
makes way too much noise and then doesn't always
actually run to the squirrels location. In
other words, her chances of catching a squirrel
are about as good as Marty being able to donate
his hair to charity.
But she doesn't
care; every failure is immediately erased from her
mind and the next opportunity is always just
around the corner. This is really a
remarkable lesson that we can use in so many
different aspects of our life, but since this is a
triathlon newletter I figured I'd relate it to the
sport. How many times do we dwell on a bad workout
or race? You can always learn from everything, but
beating yourself up over it is not productive. You
had a bad run? Well, guess what - there's another
run on your schedule two days from now! Make that
one count and forget about this one. Or how about
in a race? Perhaps you had a crummy swim - don't
think about your crummy swim the entire bike ride
- it's over. It's done. Get on the bike and only
think about the bike.
Maybe you
haven't had the season you've been hoping for?
It's not over yet. You still probably have a few
races left -these are your opportunities to get
after it. Don't give up on the squirrel. You may
just catch it someday.
