there's no place like home

Great racing this past weekend at Lee and UGA.  Like "coach" said before the long run, the hard work has been put in and now it is time to sharpen up, freshen up, and take advantage of the great opportunities ahead this weekend at home!  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.
