No other teammates can help you when you're on the ice by yourself against the clock. So I decided that if I'm going to race on my own, I'm going to train on my own.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Practice being in the moment when you are running, whether you are on your own or in the race.
Then going out on the ice usually about 15 minutes before and certain things I would do for the different races, aspects that you run through your mind.
I often felt that I didn't train and race enough team sprint to get it right. You need to know that you've got a place to have that continuity of results. Am I in? Am I out of this one? That's tough.
I compete against myself in competitions anyway, so I train against myself in practice.
I've been racing for my whole life, and I know what I need to do to be able to win.
But I plan on dedicating specific training to track this winter for the next racing season.
Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.
I save the race for the race and I don't let it all out in practice.
I'm disappointed that I really haven't been able to race in a way that is reflective of the amount of work that I have done and how I have trained. But I don't regret giving this a go.
When you start thinking you may get hurt, it's time to get out of racing.
