on the road again

#MTM #chopwoodcarrywater #lastyearmentality #WILDDOGS ⬈🝚x🝚 #rememberthegoal  #discipline #edify

Small group raced in Gainesville, but another weekend of PR's and great racing!  And more great opportunities ahead for this weekend.  Make the most of every time you toe the starting line.  "Don't show up to win, show up to compete."

The mantras remain the same... build CONFIDENCE by reflecting, and writing down, where your Effort was right, where you had Success, and where you made Progress.  Prepare for your next opportunities... execute early with poise, engage in competition, and finish with effort.
