We always look forward to the latest edition of our favorite sports magazine. Whether it be Triathlete, VeloNews, or the monthly edition of Guns and Knives. But, with 3 weeks to go until an important race…stay away. Nothing good is going to come of the latest and greatest advice on how to ride fast, swim faster, and outrun your competition. Have confidence in the work you’ve done and avoid the last minute trap of doubting your training by reading how others do it.
Forums are another MAJOR problem for pre-race doubts. If you’d like to confuse yourself and start doubting the work you’ve done, then head on over to a triathlon forum. Otherwise, find some other reading material for the last few weeks til race day. This will help keep your head screwed on straight and your motivation ready to go for the big show.
