What do you think about when you race?
What is going on in your mind?
Bree: During races I really try to focus on the “now”. How I feel, how I am pacing… and I don’t think too much on how far I have come because it makes my body want to feel tired knowing it has done so much. I also don’t like to think too far ahead… it makes me tired knowing how much I left to go! My mind is always trying to stay positive with whatever is happening, be it a good feeling or some other situation like weather or pain. I also think about my son a lot. I write his name on my hand when I race and I remind myself that if I made it through having a baby and being a mom I can make it through anything.
