“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fate puts opportunity in front of us.
Destiny is the result of what we choose to do with it.
In turn, destiny is a choice. Not some predetermined thing of fairy tales and lore. We can sit and allow destiny to happen to us, or we can choose to have destiny happen for us.
Don’t wait to be chosen. Choose.
Decisions = Destiny.

Strategy
THE BIG TAKEAWAYS
1. Let’s push the machines and recover on the runs.
2. Athletes will be rewarded for their efforts on the row and bike more than the run with these stations taking up the majority of the time within each interval.
3. On the bike, ladies can aim to hold 200+ watts while the guys can aim to hold 300+ watts.
4. On the row, ladies can aim to hold 900+ cals/hr while the guys can aim to hold 1000+ cals/hr.
5. Keep your transitions smooth and seamless.
6. Take some big deep breaths during your rest periods in order to help get your heart rate back down before the start of the next round.
