“Success” can be a very subjective word. It often means different things to different people. A lot of it comes down to your expectations. I try to find that sweet spot where realism and idealism meet - given what I am capable of at this point, what is the best possible result that I could expect? At the same time, the risks need to be weighed against the possible rewards. If I push myself as hard as I possibly can, what do I stand to gain? What do I stand to lose? In this episode, I think through these issues as I head into my race and consider how they may be applied to other areas of life as well.
