Women's Committee: Comfortable Feeling Uncomfortable
April 25, 2013
Seasoned triathletes are ok being uncomfortable. The physical and
mental discomfort of training and racing no longer rocks their
composure. They don't need the feeling to go away or stop what they
are doing. They are fully present in the feelings of discomfort,
whether it's the burning sensation in the legs while climbing what
seems to be an endless hill or running that last 6 miles to the finish
line when the body and mind are spent from a long day of racing. The
longer the race, the more intense the discomfort, the more skill it
takes to just BE with it.
