Racing to win

The hardest part of being an athlete, let alone a triathlete, is putting the clock into perspective.

First, focus on your performance. What worked? What was a bit more of a challenge than expected?

Second, look at the TriBc calendar for another opportunity to express the fitness that you have or to help keep you motivated and training through summer and into the fall.

Almost every race course is unique in some way. The weather on the day of a race is never identical. You'll start some races undertrained, others overtrained.

Find the positives from Sunday's race and focus on them going forward. There are some great individual swimmers, cyclists and runners in our club. Tap them for their advice.

As for winning, it's all how you define it.
