Ladies,
We had a nice little drill today, didn't we? Racing tactics are something to consider all the time, practiced frequently, and planned in advance for race day. In time they can become second nature.
Our workout today was a staged affair, where the girls were split into 3 groups. The idea was to capture the group in front of you (overtake them), or avoid being caught if you are were ahead.
No one likes to be chased in a race - it's mentally tough. But consider, how can you win if you aren't being chased at some point? How can you be in the lead unless you catch everyone ahead of you? Either way it goes, it's something that is part of doing your best. It's mental pressure and poise, and that takes understanding and practice.
It turned out well. We did have some caught, and we had some avoid being overtaken. That's as it should be.
Tomorrow we bump back up on the miles, and will finish with strides on the track (if we have time).
Thursday we will likely meet at the golf course, though the final word rests with the ladies themselves. I will post tomorrow the final decision.
