Right before the start of a race, one of the last things I do is take a deep breath and let it out slowly. As I take that breath, I try to just completely clear my head and not think about anything. It’s the same routine I used growing up before every event at a swim meet.
Before the gun goes off….I always check to make sure my Garmin is ready to go! I’m trying to get out of the habit of being dependent on a watch for a race but it’s hard. I’m number hungry!
haha…i can relate to the number hunger! BUT i do urge you to give it a go on an upcoming race to go watch-free. Especially for a race, sometimes ‘too many’ numbers can mess with your head, where u want to race for feel. dare ya… 😉 lol
