Something to think about

I am bumping this quote from the bottom of the page because it is so good.


" A lot of people work hard, put in the work, but feel like they are not ready to reach the next level or are not sure they can reach it. Well racing is a hugely mental thing. And if there is any doubt in your mind as to how you're going to do, when it starts to hurt, you'll start questioning yourself and that will be it. ... It's amazing how we all set mental barriers as to what we can do. Once they run a PR, a lot of people start running that time repeatedly."

Ask yourself every day at practice:

How bad do you want it?

How much pain can you handle?

Where you place on saturday is entirely a function of how you answer these two questions M-F.
