Podcast - Zen Lecture from ZenTri Base Camp

Click here to listen.

ZenTri Base Camp was a great opportunity to sit down and discuss how Zen can be applied to triathlon training and racing.  This recording covers the full spectrum; Letting go, fear, gear, leaning into difficulties, and much, much more.

The talk was given as one of many efforts to teach campers to step back and reassess their training early in the season.  We spent a lot of time undoing the knots many of us get twisted in after years of being hammered with other people's ideas about how to train and what being healthy means.

Enjoy the show!

Functional Yoga Stretching Demo with Bear Moore

We got a real treat at Zentri Base Camp - One of the attendees was fantastically limber and showed us his stretch routine.  It's a mix of yoga and smart stretching he has found to be hugely beneficial for staying injury free.

Bear said he does this routine after every strenuous workout and the payoff is huge.  Big thanks to him for sharing it with us.

How to Go Long with Rich Roll

Here's a great motivational talk by Ultraman Rich Roll about how to go long right before we headed out on a 75 mile long bike ride.

His talk was perfect right before this ride. One guy had never ridden more than 32 miles before and finished this biggie just fine.

Rich and Christine take us on grocery store tour

Here's a great clip of Rich Roll and Christine Lynch taking the whole camp on a grocery store tour.  This is essential for learning how to shop and then eat better.

We're deep into day two of ZenTri Camp.  We spent a lot of time bike fitting, reviewing videos of form, and then working out like crazy at the gym.  Rich and I and others were reviewing swim form with a video camera and having a blast.  Great time.

I'm typing this as Christine is putting the finishing touches on a killer dinner and explaining how it's healthy for us.  Nutrition values are being explained and it smells AWESOME.  

Zentri Camp Kickoff

The gang getting together to kick off day one of ZenTri Base and Nutrition Camp.

We recorded videos of Rich's and John's first talks about motivation and base training and those will be up soon.  We also recorded audio of my talk about how to apply Zen to triathlon training and that will be the next podcast.  

Day one included a trip to the local training facility for video taping of people's form while swimming and running.  We'll be reviewing that today while doing much, much more.  Great times!
