Summary
Whether we're a front pack, middle pack, or back of the pack athlete, we can all learn from each other. Today we look at the different ways to think about racing based on your experience. We dig back into finding satisfaction in your training, re-cultivating your "why" and what it takes to break free from your current pack, or even get over the hump for your goals. Do we take things for granted? Recalibrate our desires? Can we find satisfaction in creating a little pain? Racing usually comes back to the simple things. We'll go through the steps to own your journey and your next race.
Topics:
- Our favorite podcast guests
- Top ten finisher and last ten finisher
- Different backgrounds
