Dealing with Identity, Training, and a little more Insight  “You finish no matter what… but Sometimes in life you have things that you have to look at and you need to correct or you need to withdraw or just need to reevaluate...” - Chris Lieto  This episode I wanted to share a little more about myself and my journey racing. I go into a little more detail why I stopped racing and why I was quiet when I slipped into retirement. What injuries I had to deal with and how I am managing those things still to this day. I wanted to share a little more of my life outside of racing and why my family decided to move to Hawaii full time. I also go into some race stories and my philosophy of training and my mental approach to racing. I also answer the question why I enjoy consulting and coaching people and the time it takes to really help see someone succeed. It has a lot more to do with having a relationship and understanding of that person besides just giving them physical workouts. I hope you enjoy this episode and get to know a little more about me beyond just my racing results and awards. Thank you for listening and giving me feedback and questions for future episodes.
