      THE #1 REASON TO GET TO RACE EARLY

      THE #1 REASON TO GET TO RACE EARLY

      THERE ARE A LOT OF WAYS TO SCREW UP YOUR RACE, but we won't be talking about that.  We don't screw up.  We do it right...

      ...  be getting there early.

      But, I bet you can't guess the #1 reason to get there early.

      First, how early.

      I like to get there at least 90 minutes early.  Gives me time to get my race number, visit the porta, say hi to the friends...

      ... and get kitted up.

      So, after all that, what's left?

      Well, yeah, warm up.

      How long?

      I like an hour.  I'm a bring a trainer and do a structured warm up.  Hardly.  I like to get on my bike and roll around.  Slow.  Softly.  Maybe make up a few stories about my competitors...

      ... to get my blood boiling.

      Do some jumps. 

      But, that's still not the top reason to get there early.

      Racing, when it comes right down to it, requires all our energy.  We can't waste any...

      Getting there late.
      Leaving late.

      ... is a huge waste of emotional energy.

       Conserve that awesomesauce.  Store it up...

      ... you're gonna need it.

      All of it.

      You wanna know a secret to unleash massive amounts of emotional energy and blowing your expectations away...

      ... register early.

      It's the first chapter of my book for a reason.

      The book is free...

      ... just cover the shipping and handling.

      And get after it!
