As we gear up for the next phase of training, let’s have some fun with the excuses we’ve all used. Here are the top 10 you can’t use anymore! “It’s too cold outside.” – Spring has arrived, and so have the perfect training temps. No more hiding under the doona!
“I forgot my shoes.” – You’ve survived Melbourne’s winter, so by now, you’re a pro at packing your gear. And let’s be honest, no one forgets shoes twice.
“I didn’t have time to train.” – The days are getting longer. That means more daylight to squeeze in those sessions. No more sunset excuses!
“I’m saving my energy for the weekend.” – Remember, consistency is key. One skipped session quickly turns into a habit. Get it done now.
“I can’t run because of allergies.” – Yes, it’s spring, but nothing a good antihistamine can’t handle!
“My legs are sore.” – Aren’t they always? Just part of the triathlon life. Push through and keep moving!
“It’s too windy for a ride.” – Melbourne’s famous spring winds might still be here, but hey, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger (or at least better at holding onto your bike).
“I’ll start training seriously next month.” – Nope! The time is now. Speed training is around the corner, and you don’t want to fall behind.
“I didn’t have the right gear.” – You’ve got all your spring layers ready to go - no need for endless wardrobe changes like in winter!
“I just wasn’t feeling it today.” – Spring is the season of renewal. New energy, new motivation - so let’s leave the excuses behind and smash this next phase. |
