Summary

The best athletes don't worry about bad breaks or rough weather conditions, they prepare for them. Today starts with Coach Robbie professing his new interest in Formula One Racing and how the strategy applies to the run in triathlon. We go through different ways to take anxiety out of your preparations so you can focus on problem solving. We get into several common scenarios and how you can learn to "adjust and correct" on the fly when your race isn't going as planned. Races always bring pain and challenges, how are you going to plan and adjust?

Topics:

It's all about the back half of the run
Giving up time on the bike to gain more on the run
Panic and paying overnight shipping
Racing in a sea of athletes but thinking independently
It's like playing in our Super Bowl
Don't focus on other people or things you can't control
How to quit worrying about the weather
Play chess, not checkers
Can you grind through "less than perfect?"
How to make every decision in a race
Taking chances in training

Trouble shooting on the fly
It's not about the start of a race
