Placing last isn’t always a bad thing! It’s the proof to have the courage to start and the strength to finish 🤝

Often you learn so much more from their races! Here’s some things I've found value in from experience:

🏃‍♂️ Effort over placement:
Crossing the finish line, even last, proves you dared to start. Many people never even try, having a effort focused goal will always be more in your control than a placement/time goal.

🔎 Figure out where to improve:
Finishing last gives you clear feedback: maybe you need to train differently, pace yourself better (in my situation, do less other things like work), or prioritize. It shows you the gaps.

💪 Mental toughness:
Leaving the ego behind. Pushing when you’re behind builds resilience. That you finish what you started, even if nothing goes your way. 

🧭 Sportsmanship:
Coming last forces you to handle setbacks with grace, support others, and celebrate their success too, and the values of true sportsmanship 🫂

🧠 Motivation for a comeback:
It will light a fire in you, pushing you to train harder, set new goals, focus, and prioritize harder - it gives you a clearer picture of what you are willing to sacrifice 🙏

Hope this can help you guys 😌🤝👏… and let’s be honest, with the insane level in the singles Elite-15 division atm just earning a spot among these 15 athletes is pretty darn cool 🔥

Back for more… soon 😈
