Pretty impressive.
It's...Wow - that race swag! Pretty impressive.<br /><br />It's not unreasonable race anxiety. It is just anxiety. Like any performance anxiety (I know I mentioned that before in the past). It's probably something you will always have and you just will learn how to better control it - or head it off in the future. I used to perform as a musician and I had performance anxiety something awful. I almost always performed well despite that with an occasional time when the nerves got too hard to control, but it took a lot of discipline and a lot of performing. I never really got used to the feeling, but I learned to deal with having it. Not sure if that makes sense.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781375451012608773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-18909685973316747172015-03-02T12:38:55.433-06:002015-03-02T12:38:55.433-06:00I had too many friends there to bail...I'd nev...I had too many friends there to bail...I'd never live it down, LOL.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-5804660761159977332015-03-02T12:38:27.653-06:002015-03-02T12:38:27.653-06:00Jeff really had a great race, that's for sure!...Jeff really had a great race, that's for sure!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-12864778758758862682015-03-02T12:37:47.797-06:002015-03-02T12:37:47.797-06:00I've learned my lesson on anxiety, I swear!!! ...I've learned my lesson on anxiety, I swear!!!

Running is so MENTAL sometimes! I'm sorry that you had to deal with that once again. Yet still you did it and finished and got that pretty blue shirt and a medal to show for it. Good for you!<br /><br />Jeff is a speedster in disguise isn't he? I wonder what he won? Do your races give away an actual prize?
