Summary
Signing up is the easy part. Showing up prepared is a different story. Ryann, Christin, and Jess G. break down everything they wish someone had told them before their first atheltic competition. How to pick the right competition, meet, or race for where you actually are right now, how to build your prep without wrecking yourself in the process, what to do with the spiral that hits the week before, and why you absolutely should not eat something new on competition morning. They also get into nutrition and carb loading, sleep banking, the power of visualization, what to do when you are getting no-repped and have no idea why, and how to actually let yourself enjoy it when it is over. You are more ready than you think. Now go sign up for and do the thing. Black Iron Nutrition Book a Free Discovery Call Free Macro Calculator Free Downloads Black Iron Blog
