TRACK 76: Road to the 5 Boroughs // Don Oswalt // From Sharpie Mantras to My Race Tatts

<p>This Track of The Allie G Show is brought to you by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/myracetatts/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><i><b><strong>My Race Tatts</strong></b></i></a>!</p><p><i><b><strong>Use code ALLIEG for 20% off My Race Tatts!</strong></b></i></p><p>Don Oswalt, founder of My Race Tatts, is on the pod to kick off the Road to the 5 Boroughs Series!</p><p>Don’s endurance journey is one of my favorites because he didn’t start out as an athlete. He got into triathlon later in life, went from borrowing a bike and learning how to swim to racing Ironmans, qualifying for Kona, running Boston, and eventually turning a simple Sharpie habit into My Race Tatts.</p><p>We get into Don’s journey into endurance sports, the mental side of racing, visualization, self-belief, and what happens when your brain starts telling you that you can’t keep going. We also talk about the mantras Don used to write on his arms during races, and how those little reminders eventually became the idea behind My Race Tatts.</p><p>We talk about how My Race Tatts started, why Don calls a mantra a “mental circuit breaker,” how new designs come to life, the community behind the brand, and what’s coming next.</p><p>Plus, My Race Tatts is the sponsor of this year’s Road to the 5 Boroughs series, so we get into some of the fun things we have coming up together for the NYC Marathon and beyond.</p><p>If you’re looking for a little reminder that you can do hard things, this one is for you.</p>
