When I think about races when I've PRed or FH games when I've been "on", I've just stuck to the game plan and everything I've trained to do just flowed. I don't think top athletics is always about suffering...at least in the race stage. I like to get my suffering out in training so that on race/game day, my body is used to working hard and it doesn't feel like suffering. I don't know. I'm certainly not doing anything professionally or for any sort of recognition other than from myself at this point, but races are too damn expensive to be a suffer-fest.maurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13470215281982018625noreply@blogger.com
