Over time, I’ve learned that some of my most satisfying races weren’t necessarily those with the best finishing results. They were the ones where I knew I got everything out of myself. I stayed focused, executed the plan, and crossed the finish line knowing I had nothing left to give. Results do matter, but they can’t be the sole measure of success. As an athlete, your goal should be to prepare as well as possible for an event, and then give it your best. If I could go back and tell my younger self one thing, it would be this: all you can control is your execution and your effort. I’m continuing to reflect on my last 20 years of training and will be sharing more soon 💪 #fitness #cycling #competition #trolltraining #effort
