Interview about racing
From an interview, an athlete talking about racing:
I have my lunch three hours before the race starts, normally around 11am, and from then on I sip a fitness drink my trainer mixes me.
10-15 minutes before the start of the race...thinking a little bit about the start - maybe try to create a couple of different scenarios about what might happen.
You can't plan it, and you need to be open-minded because things happen fast...
...I'm not nervous at all - well, maybe a little bit. But that's normal. I never panic. I'm always well in control. I don't rush.
