Summary
If you’ve been defaulting back to loop races because they feel safer, simpler, or easier to plan than point-to-point courses, this episode will help you see point-to-point races in a completely different light. I walk you through how to rethink the unknown, level up your race planning, rely on drop bags instead of pressure on your crew, handle wildlife fears logically, and even see night miles as peaceful instead of scary. Facing your fears about point-to-point races is not about forcing yourself to suffer. It is about expanding what you believe you are capable of and choosing the race you actually want to run.
