Avoiding Mental Sabotage One simple way to get your head in the race endurance / by Lewis Elliot Lewis Elliot is a Scottsdale resident and professional triathlete. The avid hiker, skier and mountain biker was born and raised in Montana. In 2012, his first book, “7 Weeks to a Triathlon,” was published. He is one of the founding members of the Komen Tri For The Cure and the Tri- Scottsdale Foundation. The former U.S. National Team Cyclist can be reached at lewiselliot@hotmail.com. You’ve dedicated yourself, made a lot of sacrifices, and focused on this event for many months. You’re getting close to race day and becoming overwhelmingly excited, possibly even anxious for that start gun to fire. Now it’s time to go out there and set a personal record. This is your turn to fly. Preparing for races often goes well for people, and is surprisingly repeatable through consistency and application. The biggest obstacle many of us face is when it comes time to executing a great race to the best of our ability. There’s an entire myriad of challenges that competing can present, to the point that some people find themselves physically paralyzed with anxiety and nervous energy. There are so many thoughts that naturally creep into the mind of an athlete under pressure, usually including fear of failure and general selfdoubt. These thoughts are all too common and often very complex. What is expected of us in life? What should we expect of ourselves? While it may seem too obvious, the simplest way to think about this is if we fulfill our potential, then we have to be more than content with that. If things don’t go our way, what do we do? We acknowledge the challenge, then move forward planning to do our best from that point on. This is an inevitable reality of race execution within all the possible variables that arise. It may sound cliche but when comes to the big event: simply do your best! Don’t ask for more, and certainly don’t accept less. This ultimate pursuit of your potential usually has a calming effect on the mind, to know that your best is enough. All the preparation, all the equipment, all the time, the sacrifice, every bit of it is in place. Now it’s your turn to go out there and do what you can do, to the highest level of your ability. It’s vital not to question anything beyond that. When challenges arise within your race, which they inevitably will, always keep a calm head. Accept a new variable as quickly as possible, and then commit to do your best moving forward. Ask yourself, “What’s the best I can do from here to the finish line?” Then execute that – you have an immediate and new goal set from that point on. Repeat this as needed from start to finish, and you’ve done your best and fulfilled your potential on the day. 50 ScottsdaleHealth 11/19
