A lot of athletes are closing in on their big race and for many it turns into freak out stage. But we’re here today to remind you to keep checking boxes. Race energy can be calming and energizing if you channel it the right way. Positioning “race day” or other athletes as competition can put you in the wrong mindset from the jump. Think of the day as being with the peloton. Hundreds of other athletes inspiring and supporting you to get to the finish line. Today we look at how to stay focused in your last big block, your taper, and on race morning. It may be a race, but the day is all about pace. Start working through your anxiety now. Practice race moments while you have time. Learn how to go out at your own pace when the rest of the field is trying to distract you. Roll with the punches. Stay in your own box. Use the side of your magnet that attracts good energy instead of repelling it.

Topics:

  • Freakout stage
  • Heat theory
  • PTO
  • Proof of swim time
  • Excellence. How can I be excellent today
  • Looking others a an “opponent”
  • Using that competitive energy the right way
  • Calm to intense
  • It’s cool that we’re doing the same thing together
  • Magnet - opposites repel
  • Either dread or look forward to exercising
  • Work with other athletes
  • Go out under control
  • Complaining begets complaining
  • The power of being calm
  • Using energy to be successful on race day
  • Visualizing what will happen is success
  • Work through anxiety
  • “How cool is this?”
  • You are an I-ron man.
