I did a hard thing this past weekend. Two amazing ladies said yes to doing a Sprint Triathalom Relay Team event with me at Lake Walloon. I have been training for this swim, specifically, since March. And let me just say, 600m of open water is NOTHING like 600m in a pool. I was humbly reminded of this during the event.

I was kicked by 1 person, I kicked another person, I navigated people swimming all around me, I tried to find the drag stream and was successful at times and extremely unsuccessful at other times. And when I turned my last buoy I thought this is it! The last leg! Only 100m to go!

Yup…200m were left. Midway I thought about stopping. My breathing was uncomfortable, my head was turning, my body was burning. It was so damn hard. But here is what the voice in my head said:

“Don’t be a p***y Amanda! You know how to do this. Head down, lengthen your stride, slow down and breathe, and go!”

For some this may be hard to hear or read. But this voice in my head, she pushed up against the fear that was coming up in me. She pushed against what causes others to stop. She pushed me to trust my training, to lean into what is hard, and to finish. She showed up when I needed her the most And you know what? I sprinted the last 50-ish meters.

And then, I RAN to the transition. I hate running. But you know what, sometimes we have to do the things we hate to show up fully. Now, when I got to the transition I was seeing spots and couldn’t bend down to transition the timer to the biker. But she showed up and did the deed. I rehydrated, I caught my breath, and I helped my team members when they needed it.

So, lessons learned:

1.) Hard things must happen to grow and see what you’re truly capable of.
2.) If you truly show up for your training, it will kick in when you need it. This is why you practice.
3.) Pushing your comfort zone is a must, but remember to BREATHE.
4.) Be grateful for each and every person who shows up for you. They are the people who truly matter. **Shout out to my team mates and our athletic supporters!**
5.) Keep going! You must continue to push your hard because when you stay comfortable, you stop growing and will slowly begin to decline.

And to that last point, we are at it again! Signed up for the TriMillenium at Millenium Park this weekend. 750m swim, here I come🏊‍♀️🙌🏼🔥

So extremely blessed to spend a weekend in the woods with these beautiful humans. We played, we pushed our comfort zones, we laughed, we cried, we got lost and found our way back, and had moments of sheer silliness. It was an honor to watch their younger selves show up during games, tree climbing and water play.

Nature is a wonder and the invitation is always there to play 💜

Will you answer?

Cheers to summer!

Too often I hear individuals say “I don’t have time for that” or “I wish I could join you but I must (fill in the blank).” Here’s the lesson that I find most if us need to learn. At the end of the day, everything is a choice.

If you want to know yourself more, if you want to do the things you love, if you want to live each day to the fullest…you must CHOOSE IT. I wish it just fell into your lap but that is not how lessons are learned and experience is, well, experienced. What you choose today with either reinforce your path or it will shift your trajectory.

It took me a LONG time to learn this. And I am still challenged every single day. Challenged to let go of expectations, to let go do my fears, to let go of what others THINK I should be doing, to let go of what society defines as the “best life”. I get it, it’s hard. But one of the best quotes I heard recently I will end with…

You can either suffer voluntarily, or you will involuntarily suffer.

You can choose your hard or you can react when the hard comes. Getting off the path you are on is hard. It is choosing to “suffer”. Suffer why? Because making a change is uncomfortable, and we as a society DO NOT like to be uncomfortable. But every moment you go through the uncomfortable and see it isn’t as bad as you THOUGHT makes life’s obstacles that much easier to overcome. Then when the hard truly comes, you have gained so much more experience that you can move through it easier than before.

This is part of personal growth. This is part of learning to overcome life’s obstacles and hardships. Staying where you are at, using the same coping mechanisms or survival techniques keep you where you are at…they keep you comfortable. But if you challenge them, if you CHOOSE to grow, Woooooo…the skies the limit.
