Summary

We tend to forget how tough early season races are, and after a big layoff the conditions can really get in our heads. We judge our results too hard and forget who we really are. Today we talk about how to approach your race from the morning through the end of the run. We get into heat, core temp, and a concept called "racing on the defensive." We also talk about metrics and data obsession and how it can lead you into a dark place. What are you searching for in this sport? Is your fastest race still in you?

Topics:

New swim start for Chattanoogas 70.3
Chatt 70.3 participant list around 3,000
Ironman loading up the races
Crowded courses
Racing is just like training, but . . .
Staying "in the middle" after racing
Being hot on the run starts when you wake up
Once you get overheated, it's over
TSS score myths
Core temperature and RPE on hot days
Trying to get "cold" on the course
Chill before the run
You have to have the energy and rest before you can be resilient
How tough are you?
Is your fastest race still in you?
Racing on the Defensive
Obsessing about metrics and data
What are you searching for?
Mentally opening the door to pain
