I don’t know about you, but my needs and wants are constantly changing in life. I have found the same shifts to take place with athletic goals and desires as well. Once I achieve a goal, such as becoming a faster and stronger cyclist, I reflect upon what’s next. Sometimes it means shifting what my focus is, which is now moving back toward competing in triathlons to see what I can do with my improved cycling skills.<\/p>\n

For me, these changes in goals and priorities have helped to keep myself from becoming burnt out and stay excited about sports overall. As a runner, swimmer or a cyclist, it has been easy for me to switch from one sport to integrating all three into what I do.<\/p>\n

Being honest with myself and what I want has helped me to learn that sometimes I need a break from criterium and road races to race against myself as a triathlete. This has enabled me to return to my choice sport of the season and has also helped to even out the tan lines as the season has progressed.
