Summary
Holding patterns are starting to break and Race Energy is in the air. Most of us will be "rusty" so it may mean shifting your approach on race day. We give you different ways to think about your race if you haven't raced in a while. We talk about what makes the perfect execution, and how you should train to create struggle you might face on race day. How much can the body handle? We get into addiction, life, self-sabotage, and how to approach a fast build up for Ironman or a 70.3.
