Pro tip from your boy — 13x national champ: Stop, I repeat, STOP filling every gap just to “hold position.” Your coaches lied to you. Racing isn’t about sitting at the front doing nothing. If you’re a sprinter, you’re getting in the way of people actually trying to pull, which is to your advantage. If you’re looking for a breakaway, you’re killing your legs before you can even attack. Racing is about momentum, energy management, and knowing when and how to burn your matches. Race with poise, awareness, and etiquette. If you’re jumping into every opening with no plan, you’re just making the race harder for yourself; Some of y’all are fighting for spots with no objective. Have a plan. Know your moment. Wait for it. Then strike. We all want results but racing smart is how you actually get one. That takes patience. Your time will come. #CritTips #NationalChampion #RaceWithPurpose #L39IONBuilt #ThisIsTheWork
