Why I Quit on Day 3—and Still Count It as a Win
Got a question or feedback? Send me a text!
I trained for months. I thought I could handle it. But on Day 3 of one of America’s toughest mountain bike races, I didn’t even start.
In this episode, I take you inside my attempt at the Breck Epic—a high-altitude sufferfest that chewed me up and taught me more about toughness, humility, and goal-setting than any race I’ve done before.
You’ll hear:
• How it feels to realize mid-race that you’re in over your head
• The moment I knew quitting was the smartest move
• Why “toughen up” and “stay humble” aren’t opposites—they’re a winning combo
• How to keep moving toward your goals when life (and your body) throw up roadblocks
If you’ve ever wondered when to push through and when to pivot, or how to bounce back after falling short, this episode will hit home.
