When your training schedule goes Arri due to injury or just poor execution is it perfectly ok to look back on your season as a whole pick your best execution and call it an A race? I say HELL YES!! If you have done your research you know the importance of having A, B, C races in your season and forming an optimal plan is key. However, anything can happen on race day both good and bad and you can surprise the hell out of yourself sometimes in a race you trained through. To me that is just a great reflection of how your training has gone.
Races that fall apart however, give you no indication of how your plan or training went and make it extremely difficult to keep momentum and stay positive. Ideally you have to remember not to get so caught up in it all. Shit happens and in the end you are doing this for fun. Its supposed to be something you enjoy so dont take it too seriously. Keep your head in the game. You dam well know that with or without any races, this is the lifestyle choice you chose for yourself. You made the right decision to live happy healthy and to continue to be challenged. Race with that in mind every time.
