Ironman Mont Tremblant 2019 Best IM Experience Ever !!!
I have done this amazing race 4 times already.
Each one with different outcomes, sensations, feelings, emotions.
When I joined PPF (some time ago...) I understood this would be a long term investment. Following the process, reading each one of Matt's lectures, listening all of his Postcads, reading all posts and experiences from other PPF athletes, reading his books. Putting everything together would help me to improve and become a better performancer (work, family, triathlon). And that is what all of this is about. Becoming, step by step, a better human being.
I ran MT in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019.
This year I though, I am going to apply as much as possible PPF philosophy in every single detail and see what is going to happen.
You know what? It was amazing. My best PR comparing with previous years. 21 min less than in 2017 and 2 years older (and 12 min in penalty box... drafting climbing Duplessis...). Finish Line at 14:03. My target? Sub 14 h. It couldn't be but more happy than ever.
My Swim? I said to me, swim with your best technique... outcome? best PR ever
My Bike? I said to me, ride with your best technique and do not focus in outcome (power), just follow the process, spin, drink, eat, spin, drink, eat... (tension on chain, etc...) It was like Matt and his team been in my head the whole time repeating the strategy... outcome? best PR ever
My Run? I said to me, remember to run as best you can, as long as you can as often as you can. Again those PPF coaches and phrases inside my head... outcome? best Finish Line ever and PR by 21 min
I cannot express how important the whole PROCESS has been in my case. I did not wear HR monitor, I barely took a look power and I did not check time until I was at the Hotel. I managed one thing at a time and it worked.
I am better athlete than 2 years ago, I feel I am better professional than ever and I feel I am more present with my family and coworkers.
PPF is not just about Triathlon but a complete High Performance Program.
My journey towards Excellence has just begun.
Who wants a better life?
Cheers,
Joaquin (a Spanish 51 years old guy, living in Canada and enjoying his PPF journey every single step)
