#161- How To Not Over-Obsess About Your Race

"Unless you get a paycheck from this sport, the only thing you can walk away with is memories." - Coach Robbie We start with discussion about how and why your body may seem like it's begging you to stop when it may actually be telling you to go faster.    Then we get into Race Obsession and how can we turn down the voices in our head and relax. It's not easy but we get into how focusing on the right things can take pressure off your race. We also talk about relaxation (before and during the race) is the key to improving and racing well. We also talk about when it's probably best to just say, "F-it."  When Should The Hay Be In The Barn?
