Summary

How do we respond when faced with uncertainty? There are a lot of unknowns at the moment and today we get back into the moment and focus on what we can control. Coach Robbie shares his change of plans and how he turned a negative into a positive. We look at the gut punch of cancelled races and the reality getting a better grip on our perspective.

Expecting Races to Change Our Lives
Race day is just One Day . . . A Day
Check marks along the way
Feel good about yourself and be healthy
When we hide our feelings inside the race
