it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get back up and keep fighting.
🎵I GET KNOCKED DOWN.. AND I GET UP AGAIN🎵
Ari, you can learn from it! Very cool you are going for it, most people don’t! Your next race will be that much better learning from this experience! 💪🏼🏃🏻♂️
He can…but will he? Hasn’t yet
You got this Ari! 💪
As an average age grouper, every race is a fight to the finish line for me. I just repeat my personal mantras in my head when things get tough. eg. “You chose to do this, you’re going to give it all and finish strong” “you’re legs still working? Good. Keep moving and run strong”.
Hope you come back strong this Sunday and smash it. 👍😎
All love Ari! It's all part of life. You're not lacking toughness you're lacking clarity. Try coming into the race with a positive mantra and just repeat it to yourself when things get tough
Hey Ari! I appreciate the honesty you show in these videos. Although this result isn't what you wanted, I think it's a feeling that a lot of the people watching who do races can empathize with. Sounds like you've got a great support system around you, keep up the awesome work and videos. You're an inspiration!
Appreciate the honesty. So you gave into those feelings we all have in a long endurance event. Now you know how it has made you feel about yourself. Don’t ever let yourself do it again. You used your “onetime” and it made you feel like crap. Go out and become the dominant athlete we all know you can be!
The fact that you get so down and disappointed after a bad race shows just how much you do care and how much you are truly willing to fight and hurt for the victory. Keep moving forward and remember that fire in your belly for the next one!
Seems like you improved some things, learned some qualities about yourself, and had a new struggle to work through. It wasn't the result you wanted, but you did well.
Objectively, your bike was 10 minutes slower than Lionel's, and he broke the course record...
Be easy on yourself. I believe you're going to make a huge impact on this sport. Thanks for sharing your journey with us and being real.
Stay strong brother. It's a process. You can learn from every negative you encounter. Doesn't sound like your training was the issue. Could of definitely gotten top 10. Tough field too btw.
Keep showing up! You got this Ari. Good luck at Maine 💪
This was obviously not what I wanted to hear at all I mean it’s terrible you had such a bad race, but it also hit really close to home which was in a way just really nice. I’m not nearly as seasoned as you racing and training wise as I’m literally only 16 but I started running and continued for abt 3 years before I joined at team (last year), which I thought would be a great idea slike “well it’ll be easy since I’ll be competitive” which proved to be an absolutely terrible idea. I was so mentally unprepared for everything since I was so used to training on my own and had never been in a real race, that pretty much the entire season was just me feeling like a shit abt my racing and my training and just really feeling unsure whether it was the sport for me. Yet at the same time everyone treated me like I should know what I’m doing since I’m fast which caused me to feel overwhelmed even when I was doing well, so naturally I cried through basically the entire season but felt trapped since I helped the team a lot. Idk where I’m going with this. Basically it was just nice to hear someone I look up to say they also have races where they essentially give up. Makes me feel less like a failure and more like someone who just cares a lot abt their sport :)
Hey Ari - I hope you read this, and I hope it helps:
Most people are guilty of blaming others' shortcomings on *internal* factors, while blaming their own shortcomings on *external* factors. So for most people it's "so and so (other person) just isn't tough enough, but in MY case, it's because of (x y z external factors)."
I find it's different for high level athletes like yourself. For many of 'em, they'll often blame their own shortcomings on those *internal* factors - "I wasn't tough enough" being a common one.
And yet, it can sometimes be just as flawed. I look back at some races (or even entire seasons) where I thought the same thing. And looking back now with that 20/20 retrospective vision, I realize it had nearly nothing to do with my toughness or whatever.
In many of those cases I was either (a) overtraining or (b) unhealthy. Or possibly a combo of both which is common.
Those can manifest in your own head as mental issues. Like if your body is exhausted and won't let you reach that extra gear, you might convince yourself you're just not being tough enough.
I don't know you well. But I sure as shit don't think toughness is an issue.
And I don't know triathlon like I know running. But for the endocrine system, it's all the same. Couldn't hurt to check some essential markers (thyroid, testosterone, a1c, etc.) and make sure you're recovering adequately from all that training.
And thanks for sharing the lows as well as the highs. People wanna see both! No good story is complete without some days to forget.
Keep up the great work 👊
Don't give up, you care about this and eventually its going to translate. Were here for the ride. Keep on pushing
You can’t change something that is already in the past. Learn for it and move on. Knowing that lesson learn will only be fire and gasoline for the next race. Keep it up bro !
Ari, don’t get down. Stay with the process. You are a talented athlete and you have incredible fitness
Keep up the work. It’s a long journey.
Get after it. We're excited to have you up here in central Maine.
Great effort! 🎉
Losing is a part of the process. Just dont give up
Shows how passionate you are!!!
I enjoy your vids, respect your honesty and openness, and find your discussion of the technical aspects of training at a high level interesting. Lot's of reasonable ideas in the comments on what the potential issues were for this race.
I was thinking you're not that far removed from a 3 month interruption in run training... maybe more time needed to fully regain peak run fitness. Also that taxing Tempo/Threshold session in too high temps that didn't go well only one week before perhaps a factor?
Keep training. Guys out there are savages. You can only keep grinding. Keep getting better in nutrition. Have a better regime before race.
It's your taper. All the work is done 10 days out. Race week should be the time of your life, when you just smile back at everything you did to get there. I love tapers! All you need to do is show up fresh! Easy :)
It’s ok pal, you got this. Continue to believe in yourself.
Awesome meeting you at 70.3 Maine today in transition. Hope you kill it tomorrow!
Brother, all good, you are going to kill it on Sunday. Just embrace the suck and press through it. Remember, pain is temporary =)...you are motivating and helping the rest of us see the true nature of the ups and downs of training and racing. It's not all unicorns and rainbows. Keep up the good fight!
Race more, it will strenghten your "WILL" to win. It is a skill to polish. You can even pick HM run only races,do it about 3.5mmol effort ,before the race you can bike a 30min @2.5mmol and that way it is more Tri specific. One can skin the cat many ways,be creative,and use different races for your aim (= to toughen mentally).
Good luck this weekend. Go to the well papi. You can do it
Lots of experts in the comments after this one. Sounds like they have all the answers for you Ari.
Good race for not having it! That isn’t a dog, it’s the local alpaca (or llama) that shows up at all the events. Head up and do some fun things.
You know what you need to do
Embrace the grind
Think of when you did track races where you jumped into the pain pit
Make yourself ok with going back there
Go for the hurt buddy
I have faith
You CAN and WILL do it
Do you think any of the lack of wanting to hurt could be temporary burnout? I was a competitive swimmer and sometimes that’s how my burnout would manifest itself.
The field is getting faster and faster. Stop being so hard on yourself. You did your best, that is all you can do.
That dog looks like a llama 🤣
Get up. Train. Come back 💪🏻
Great video, open & raw but I'm wondering, when you travel far for events, travel is tiring, not sleeping in your own bed can be tiring, then nerves etc, maybe look @ what you eat on a daily basis, maybe more clean eating, less process may help with that mental fatigue, your fitness looks/sounds awesome. It's just a suggestion, keep pushing it will all come together soon. Good luck
I can't say anything to cheer you up so I'll just keep watching your vids quietly
Chipotle before a race is dangerous haha!
Get a coach , love the channel, humour, the highs the lows. Thx.
New to learning about triathlon. What was the issue with his swim skin?
Man, dont give up, I mean it is everything about perspective. After training 2 years for it you are in Top twenty in such a competetive race, I mean this is really good youre ambitious and your goals are first places, but give yourself time,
Maybe contact man sport psychologist, i know many semi professional athetls like 2:23 maraton who do this and it really helps, greetings from Poland!!
Track day with Trevour!
Trust the process
What’s the name of the song during the race footage? It’s so good
3 hours 44 minutes is a good result
Keep in mind Lionel has a Chance to Win 70.3 worlds this year. 10 minutes down isn’t bad
Keep working on all 3
Swim, Bike, Run
You just need to shave 1 min on swim 8 min on bike & 5 min on run
You can get there in a few years
Try for 20 seconds faster on swim, 3 min on bike and 2 min on run for 2024
YOU ARE NOT A QUITTER, KEEP STRONG, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
I WOULD HAVE YOU NEXT TO ME IN THE TRENCHES, YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES.
On to the next one, let this fuel you
Keep it up Ari stay hard
Hi Ari, thanks for cool videos; I don't think it's a huge dog; seems to be an alpaca;
Nice one ari! Race day is a fickle phenomenon. Sometimes you feel like you nail it and you've found the secret sauce, then the next race comes along and something else doesn't go to plan. It's hard to get it right!
VO2max training can be mentally draining on a longer period!
I trained multiple top 10 continental divide race finishers… all non pro guys… more rest if your clean!
Do it!!!
Your time is coming. In Ari we trust
How did your taper go?
My favorite line from Lawrence of Arabia. "The trick Mr. Potter, is not minding that it hurts."
My 10yr old daughter said that you should trim or remove the Tash it’s not aero and slows you down 😂
Sounds mainly mental!
You'll do better this weekend
Maybe shave ur mustache to make you more aero.
he got the starbucks look lol
Get up and tri again!
Do you think having the 2nd 70.3 so close . your brain kinda limited you ?
want it like a dog, be relentless
I’m glad I’m not at this level, because it does not sound much fun!
the drop at 3:25 💀🚽💣
1. Improve your diet. More high carb stuff like potatoes and rice, and less meat and fried foods
2. Give ATG system a try. It can hugely strengthen your tendons and ligaments, and improve your efficiency. Adding it 2-3x a week should optimise your physical strength without affecting your aerobic fitness
How can you eat that much powdered “food”? 😁 Maybe try Lionel’s new diet of clean nutrition.
Maybe spend a week with Mr Gogins or Mr I Cowboy.
"Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." -Michael Jordan
That's not a dog, it's an alpaca!
You were injured as part of this block, I watched the videos.
Rough
Iris drained you bro! Wtf… you should expect results like that when you travel the way you did😂
2 things I think can absolutely help you!
- watch an inspiring/motivating movie the night before, I like Miracle ( the hockey one ) or Creed 2. Both get me jacked to put it all out there.
- Your nutrition… if you thought about your nutrition like you though about your workouts, you be on another level, maybe some added confidence too. You eat like a college kid who hasn’t ever been to a real grocery store. You can’t (shouldn’t) eat at a random mexi place that you’ve never been to the day before a race! 😅💩
Since no body answered your question...the tall fluffy dog is a South American breed called alpaca
Pretty sure that was an Alpaca (maybe a llama) not a dog.
Nope sorry, it was actually a goldendoodle
Are you gonna train with Lionel anymore?
Lionel also put in more volume than he’s ever done. In his post race video he’s doing 25,000yds swimming, 13+hrs biking, and 72 miles running PER WEEK. So….. head up, and pick up the volume brotha. Edit: Think about hiring a mental performance coach. They legit work.
Don't be too hard on yourself man. Remeber what you've written in this channel description, you're f-ing living the dream, and now you've got a smoking hot babe along for the ride too. What a lucky f you are. You're being silly if you waste this awesome time of your life being upset about the universe trying to teach you something. Just go with the flow. Could be some imbalance causing the mental slump too, and if so "powering through" is probably not constructive anyway and just delaying your recovery. Anyway, love the vlog, best wishes 🤘
Eat more home cooked healthy food and call up David Goggins and spend a month with him to get that mindset right! 💪🏻👍🏻
David Goggins is slow
@@mattlogan1 yes but he could use some help with the mental toughness as thats what he saying in this video!
Apart from encouraging you to keep at it, I think the most important take away from this video is that the dog is a borzoi.
If you want it to look like that you'll have to choose between triathlon and dog grooming - ain't got time for both
1:45 that's a big dog, but not as big as you ;)
If your natural……. U need more complete rest before race!!!!! A week …. If ur on gas (epo, juice etc. ) ur can and should train low volume into the race
Races are different than training. You can train like an absolute animal, but races are completely different. But you knew that.
Too many keytones
You could really use a proper coaching for bike posture. You are not sitting correctly and it costs tou watts for sure. You are sitting just at the edge of your seat, i havent seen anything like that on that level. This probably means you dont get the forward pelvic tilt and.you dont activate your thighs. No hating! Just observing
Have a ketone shot
Maybe stop eating so much junk food and relying on fancy supplements, just eat good clean food
15th of 2404, top 1% not so bad.
Sounds like you were low on blood sugar (and glycogen) on the run. That can cause anyone to feel like giving up, it is your brain’s self defence mechanism. Sorry to hear you get down on yourself but know that your fitness is there, correct the errors and go kick some ass this weekend!
Fueling with maple syrup might not be optimal, perhaps
ari will you be my dad
Two 70.3s in 7 days is so stupid lol
🤷 Promo>SM
No, you need rest. You are mentally tired.
It could have been many different things, but you put a lot of shit into your body before that race. Just watch a pro cycling team documentary and keep it simple. Black coffee and white rice. Maurten for during. Ketones if you like.
Ah yes, the old technique of doing less race specific training the closer you get to the race.
Hey, look at it this way, not one cuss word:) and that is progress, I actully made it to the end of the video:) if you want my three sense, start eating much better, like go back to vegan, and write this off as falling off the life wagon, and when things start looking better in your life, because you are not constantly pooping life out, then,,,help others find the light:) your swim, looks really good, your run looks super duper good, your bike,,,looks super bad, now there are videos of you, and others, I can see the difference, can you??? Hint we pull the pedals to our chest, not push them to the ground:) best of favor to you for your next race:)
New girlfriend has drained you of all your energy? 🧐😉
maybe you're overtrained, bro?
Hey Ari, been watching you since you started your channel mate. But why so negative? 15th place is pretty solid and you biked 3 minutes faster than last year and your acting like it was a disaster? Looking at your training I think your slightly overtraining and putting way too much pressure on yourself which is causing you to perform below your ability and potential
Not to sound too much like LS, but have you ever considered that maybe your diet is a factor in your pattern of overtraining? I've noticed in your videos you almost never put anything substantive in your body. Mostly just a mix of supplements and complete junk food. That can't be good for your recovery.
My thoughts exactly. Absolutely no fresh food. Fried chicken nuggets, deep fried onion rings, oil saturated food from chipotle, “ketones”??, processed powders, demineralizing coffee all day, and wonders why has no vibrancy? Nothing is vibrant in his diet…
@@treblenoon Maybe not the specific main issue with the race but could be a factor. Totally agree re the fresh food-diet is like a hs chemistry set
