Summary

Do you look back at your race and put an honest level of judgment on how you did? Today we look at what makes a great race for YOU. We talk about why time and placement shouldn't be the number one factors. We look at your metrics not based on times/splits. We talk about your effort, how you figure out goals and attain them. Starting the swim without a watch. The course and the conditions and how to play them. We look at adjusting to the moment WHILE you're racing and how the right mindset can give you a race you're proud of instead of a complete sh*t show. 

Topics:

  • Texas Camp
  • Time isn't everything
  • Kicking off the race calendar

  • Metrics not based on time/splits
  • Adjusting to the moment
  • A, B, C Goals
  • Your best effort is relative
  • Not wearing a watch for the swim
