It's mind over body in triathlon training

By Craig Davis, McClatchy/Tribune News

The physical challenge of the triathlon is readily apparent. But one of the world's best multisport athletes suggests it may be foremost a mental game.

"Always reach beyond what you think you can accomplish," Chris Lieto, runner-up in the 2009 Ironman World Championship, said during a recent appearance at Runner's Depot in Davie, Fla. "The bigger goal you set, I find there is a bigger pull that draws you toward that goal."

In discussing training and race strategy, he made it clear the body will go only as fast and far as the mind will take it.
