108 | Racing vs Training - Psychological or Physiological?

After a few big weeks of racing, we discuss why some races don't measure up to training. Do your races not go to plan? Are you great at training, but bad at racing? We've found that there are three types of racers- those going for the win, those who think they are going for the win, and those who execute the best they have on the day. These might sound the same, but they are very different in terms of execution, and ultimately consistency. So listen in for the differences between racing and training so you don't blow your next race!
