Summary

Race Season is here and it’s easy to get caught up in the things you didn’t do, but we’re here to tell you, you’ve done hard work and what matters is what you do with it next. Well, that and having fun in a sport that we PAY to do. We look at “PR Mentality” and how it can hurt your training and racing. We get into comparing courses year to year. And we also get into the “Gallon of Gas” analogy that simplifies strategy and may be all you need on race day.

Topics:

What are we already worried about maybes?
Clamoring for being back to normal
the traveling toll
the pr trap
everyone wants a return on your investment
the point is to get the very best of themselves
20 hour Jim vs. 8 hour Gary
i think i have more to squeeze out of me
early season races
Comparing year to year
Turning the race into a Fun Day
It’s not about a time
expectations gone while
The goal on race day is to get everything you have out of you
The Gallon of gas analogy that could be all you need for your race
Focus on the positive
Deal with problems after the race
