Open Water Worries

Stacey Richardson’s Weekly Workout Tip:

This week’s training tip  was published on Active.com last week.   I was soooo excited that they accepted this for publication, as Open Water Swimming is largely about mind games.

For many of us, it is terrifying and the most dreaded part of any race.   Read more about how you can conquer your fears and take concrete steps to stay safe, manage your fear, and to master the technical art of open water swimming.   For more fun, see my video on u tube on race day mental preparation.   Make 2012 the year your rule your over your fears, not them over you.

Go me, Racing Elite and afraid of the waves!

  • I love this! The swim is definitely the part of the race that I have to psych myself up for the most. I have to count my strokes in my head so I don't get freaked out...
