Summary

What will you do when you hit a tough spot in your race? There will be many of them and we all have to negotiate with ourselves on the fly. Don't believe how things feel right now (good or bad) because it will change. Racing allows us many chances to figure things out. To not think about the wrong things. To be resilient and get through because that's why we signed up. Racing is never easy so it's up to us to find resolve in the muck. Find joy in your resolve. When a tough situation comes up, ask yourself, "how do I want to remember this?"

Enjoy your longest supported training day and feed off the course energy, but also remember, this is largely about finding fun in your own breath.
