Member 17 West Haven, CT |  Subject: MotivationHey folks-- I have my cardio music on my mp3 player for motivation while I'm working out, but just getting up and outside or to the gym is sometimes a chore (especially at 5am  ) Anyone know of any videos, movies, etc., preferably tri related, that really gets you going while you would rather be sleeping on the couch... |

Member 182  | Subject: RE: Motivation Dick Hoyt youtube clips did it for me a few times, but you can only hear the same story so many times. Even if it is a really good one. Maybe watch Rocky or the Karate Kid? Yeah, my first race is 5 weeks away, so theres my motivation. |

Elite 2733 Venture Industries, | Subject: RE: Motivation I like going to the Ironmanlive web site and looking at the finisher photos. Seeing the joy of people crossing the finish line, especially with their family in tow, always gets to me. I especially love the people that finish later in the race, the closer to 17 hours, the more emotional for me. |

I found it awesome that Peter Reid can't stay up late to watch tv past February because he has to get up early to get in his first of a lot of times 3 workouts for the day. If your whole job is training that takes dedication. |

Coach 9167 Stairway to Seven | Subject: RE: Motivation For trainer rides, you can't beat watching Lord of the Rings. (I'll be starting in a few minutes). I also like to watch mountain biking vids while on the trainer. |
