Trace and I reminded each other in several ways of this past week that we are not perfect nor do we strive for perfection. Actually we are highly flawed but yet it is through our flaws that we are typically humbled which makes us easier to be around. Furthermore we found a renewed appreciation for each other by switching roles several times and in several ways. For those of you wondering, I do occasionally listen to Trace.
In simple terms the coach becomes the coached. This is an amazing asset contained within Team Inspiration and we make it real as we reach out to each other and support one another. This is easy to do within the boundaries of triathlon training but becomes even more meaningful when we start applying to other messy areas of our lives.
Trace and I will both admit that we are good at making mistakes but we are getting a lot better at being vulnerable with each other and finding out that we can help each other not just in being a better triathlete but to live better. Don't forget to be coachable and be able to coach as well.
As a group of individuals, let's continue to bring more hope and encouragement to this world. Go make it a great day!

P.S. I'll start to pay attention to Trace's cycling speed when he goes aero....which I know he will. :)
