Stop Getting Into the Start Gate Too Early 🚨
This is one of the easiest mistakes to make… and it quietly ruins your race before you’ve even started.
For me, this is exactly where the anxiety hits.
You’re stood there…
doing nothing…
Heart rate creeping up…
Overthinking every station…
ā€œHave I done enough training?ā€
ā€œAm I actually ready for this?ā€
ā€œWhy did I even sign up?ā€
Sound familiar?
That start tunnel will mess with your head if you let it.
Here’s what I’ve learned šŸ‘‡
Don’t get into the start gate early.
I’m talking as late as possible.2 minutes before your wave… sometimes even later.
(Obviously… don’t be the idiot that misses their wave.)
Why this works:
• Less time to overthink
• Less time for anxiety to build
• You stay physically warm
• You keep your focus where it should be
Because the longer you stand there doing nothing…the more your brain starts working against you.
Simple rule for your next race:
šŸ‘‰ Stay moving
šŸ‘‰ Stay distracted
šŸ‘‰ Get in late
šŸ‘‰ Get on with it
Most people think race day is about only about your fitness.
It’s not.
It’s about managing your head when things get loud.
And this is one of the easiest wins you’re currently giving away.
