Model Your Athletic Inspiration for Motivation
By Cheryl D. Hart (for usatriathlon.org)
When you read about the top-ranked triathletes and duathletes, do you aspire to be as fast and strong? Do you imagine yourself flying through the miles as smoothly and effortlessly as these super-stars?
If so, you are tapping into one of the primary sources of self-efficacy (the belief that you are capable of producing a successful performance). We gain confidence through vicarious experience or

Going Off Course - Ever heard the "Party Pooper" song? It's a parody of Frank Sinatra's "Pretty Baby," and it goes a little something like this:
Ever party needs a pooper
That's why we invited you,
Party pooper
Party pooper
It's tragic that many triathletes are party poopers. Sure, they'll party a little bit, like until 8:30. Then they leave 'cuz they need to get to bed early so they can get up early to train.
And there are those triathletes who don't party at all, just because it isn't a healthy thing to do. Talk about anal!...

[Edit: I'm "double dipping" my posts today... if you follow me weekly on the Groucho Sports you can take today off (or go check out our other awesome writers!) because this note on faith is up there as well. It's a benchmark in my recovery, and I wanted it to be recorded for me to look back on. Will certainly update how everything goes later!]

Event Coverage - On April 1, 66 athletes got "chicked" at the Life Time-Woodbury Indoor Triathlon. The event was staged at the Woodbury club, of course, which is across the street from a Tires Plus and not far from Sam's Club and a relatively new Super Target. It's a great place to work out before and after you shop for stuff.
We digress.
The girl who chicked the entire field two Sundays ago was Amber Sauve. Your guess as to how her last name is pronounced is as good as ours. It could be "Saw-Vee." Or maybe "Saw-Vay." Probably neither.
According to her FB page, Amber has many children, is pretty and, as is apparent in the photo (L), sometimes goes topless at the lake. Her run-bike combination at Woodbury was impressive and she earned a three point win over Jim Bena and Katie Penvose, who tied for 2nd. Sauve unashamedly admits that she never misses "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" and attends Eagle Brook Church....
