Something To Keep in Mind

"Without exception,mental fatigue sets in before physical fatigue. Even the greatest of athletes thinks he is tired before his body is really physically tired. Through courage,pace knowledge, and confidence, you can overcome this feeling of being tired and perform much closer to your real capacity." (author unknown). Very insightful and true, this is something that should be considered before every race. Think about it, isn't it our desire when racing to achieve maximum effort and finish with nothing left at the end? The question to ask ourselves is, are we reaching that point, and if not, what do we need to do to get there?
