Summary

Did Not Finish; DNF. This acronym is hard to accept after months, maybe even years, of preparation. But sometimes the weather, the course, or your body doesn't cooperate on race day, leaving you short of the finish line. Join coaches John Mayfield and Joanna Nami as they discuss dealing with a DNF. Today's episode covers possible reasons for a DNF, the emotions involved, how to evaluate the situation, and most importantly, how to move forward.
