Ep. 192 - This Is My Fatal Flaw When Choosing Races
Show Notes

One of my fatal flaws is that when I'm considering a race, I tend to evaluate whether other not I can do it based on my fitness right then in that moment. 

I think: "Could I do this race right now?"

99% of the time, the answer is NO (obviously!) because I'm usually picking races when it's my off season or when I'm taking a break so while I might be fit, I'm certainly not race ready! 

I'm asking myself the wrong question when trying to decide if I should do a race or not.

So today I want to share some better  questions that you can use to help keep you from following suit and adopting my fatal flaw!

Here they are: 

  1. Do I have enough lead time (to train)? 
  2. Does it challenge me in a new, different, or exciting way? 
  3. Is it a stretch or a strain? 
  4. What aspect of my training will I need to focus on in order to feel more confident in my ability to complete this race? 

Listen in as I walk through each of these questions and share some additional insights💡
