      Home / Todd's Blog / WHY DO I ALWAYS GET SICK BEFORE AN "A" RACE?
      Aug 08, 2022

      WHY DO I ALWAYS GET SICK BEFORE AN "A" RACE?

      WHY DO I ALWAYS GET SICK BEFORE AN

      FOR SOME REASON, I always get a little sick the week before an A race.  The sniffles, scratchy throat.  Call it race jitters, if you like.  I call it...

      ... Damn, this is real and I'm scared and nervous.

      I know it's just a bike race, but is it?

      It's the same thing when I make a big marketing decision, like I did this month.  I reallocated about 80% of my ad budget...

      ... it will be a huge win, or a huge loss.

      You know what else happens during these times of proving myself?  My right arm develops a rash.  It's itchy.  Annoying.  Wakes me up.

      We've all got a lot on our plates, big goals to chase, outrageous plans to hatch.  The secret is not to get paralyzed when it's on the line...

      ... but to stay focused on the outcome we want.

      The jitters, sniffles and rashes are just the bullshift our bodies throw at us...

      ... when are we about to open up the can of Whoopass.

      Deal with it and move one.

      For me, that's a round of Zicam/chicken soup/hot showers with a dab of Cortizone-10 cream.

      Trust your training.

      You're ready.

      And you've probably been smashing PRs all over the place.

       

      This is my favorite SuperTech T.

      I'll be adding more colors to the link below... I had to launch the PRs > KOMs first because...

      ... you know I'm all about PRs.

      We've been getting rave reviews from the teams who have ordered for off the bike, on the podium.
