Do you prepare to let go in a race if it feels right? Fears, expectations, and anxiety can hold us back, but having confidence to look at a race as an opportunity can be the biggest secret to performance. Today we look at staying in the moment and making solid decisions on the course. Do you truly trust the training? Topics: Taper Tantrums Pre-race jitters Worst-Case-Scenario-ville Triathlete’s ritual/routine How to deal with free time What to do with all the energy What effort level should you race at for 70.3? Golf and Tennis analogies Unforced Errors on the course Making a million decisions Staying Engaged and Present in a Race Competing against yourself, others, and the day The ONE thing you should do in a HOT race Staying AHEAD of the day Nutrition Heat How to use the bike to prepare for the run Don’t be reactionary and defensive Coaching instills calmness Answering questions you don’t have yet How Robbie feels about coaching 40+ racers Do you think of this race as Digital Tombstone?
