&lt;h1 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #993366;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CITY TO SURF TIPS # 6&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&amp;nbsp;

2 WEEKS TO GO!

&amp;nbsp;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #993366;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;“No, you don’t have a cold, and no your Achilles is just fine.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&amp;nbsp;

Today’s tips relate to those who place a priority on their race day performance.  Tips are for those who sacrificed time and energy towards producing their best result.  It’s also for &lt;img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3814" src="http://www.bprcchealth.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/1090055251_cba08a5542_b-300x200.jpg" alt="1090055251_cba08a5542_b" width="300" height="200" /&gt;those for have not completed this race or distance before.  So, it’s largely for those entering the unknown.

&amp;nbsp;

As a consequence of the unknown, it’s about now when weird and usually illusory emotions can start to creep in.

&amp;nbsp;

Race day doubts often amplify as we approach d-day.  Doubts like:
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;A seasonal sniffle is NOT man-flu!&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;A somewhat stiff back doesn’t require four Physiotherapy treatments.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;No, you do NOT need an additional three hard threshold training sessions this week.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;Relax, your ever slightly loose stools does NOT mean your race is toast.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;No, your training program was not inadequate, and NO you couldn’t have nailed another three sessions per week.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;Long range forecast are rarely right! So don’t look it up.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;No, you don’t need new shoes!&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;No, that lost hour of sleep will not completely destroy your performance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #993366;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RELAX ALREADY!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;You’ve done more than enough WORK to produce your best result!&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;Your body will serve you well; it’s designed to do that!&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;Don’t re-read the do’s and don’t on the event website.&lt;img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3646" src="http://www.bprcchealth.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/runn2-300x200.jpg" alt="runn2" width="300" height="200" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;If challenged with negative illusory emotions, your steady (controlled intensity) workout is usually best. &lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #008080;"&gt;Nerves, apprehension, and trepidation are NORMAL, but nearly always are bluff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #993366;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Stay healthy and smile - See you at the start line!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
