What happens when a race goes wrong?

So the race goes south… whether its internal (your ability to perform) or external (outside influences) the race goal isn’t reached. So what happens now..

Well we write about it..

In all seriousness this can be one of the hardest parts about any sport. Overcoming the disappointment of an undesired outcome. Triathlon has in its’ own nature a more personal component to this problem. No team to commiserate with, no shoulders to help carry the burden… nope its personal. Sometimes it feels really personal.

The above race outcome was affected by the cancelling of the swim due to a shark sighting. So what did I learn form the race? Lots…

Specifically when a race schedule is altered there is a quick turn of events that an athlete has to go through

How can we overcome these situations

Moving forward
