CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON | CHAMPIONSHIP APPROACH

Championship Season Is Earned

When the stakes are high and the lights are bright, you don’t rise to the occasion— you fall back on your preparation. Championship season doesn’t care what you hope to do. It rewards what you’ve done—day after day, workout after workout.

Read further to find out how to show up when it matters most-

Lock In. Block Out the Noise.

Race week brings distractions. Big names. Loud energy. Lots of nerves. Let it all swirl around you—but don’t let it in.
Your focus belongs on you.

What others are doing? That’s noise. You’ve got a plan. Stick to it. Legacy racers don’t chase hype—they execute.

Train for the Chaos

Race day is never perfect. It’s dynamic. It punches—you need to punch back.

  • Train at different intensities. Practice surging. Learn to punch and settle.

  • Fuel in the heat, in the cold, under stress.

  • Simulate the unpredictable—because race day always is.

Train for the storm so you can race through it.

Be Dynamic. Stay Composed.

Conditions change. Plans shift. The strongest racers don’t panic—they pivot.

  • The swim goes long? Stay calm.

  • You miss a bottle on the bike? Adapt.

  • Someone surges past you? Trust your pace.

Championships reward athletes who can adjust and still deliver.

4. Trust Your Preparation

When things get hard—and they will—you will always default to your level of preparation. So build smart. Build consistent.

  • Lay the foundation.

  • Practice with purpose.

  • Control what you can.

On race day, don’t guess. Execute.

5. When It Gets Hard, Give Me Five

This is the mindset that’s carried me through countless races.
When it hurts: Give me five more minutes.
When you want to back off: Five more watts.
When your legs are screaming: Five more seconds of pace.

Break the pain into moments you can win. Then stack those wins. That’s how legends race.

Championship season isn’t about hype.
It’s about YOU BEING YOU.

So race with your HEART. PREPARE WITH YOUR MIND AND GETSOME. Let’s go.
