The racing season is upon us. This weekend was the Arcadia Invitational, the big west coast outdoor invitational. Around the country, the big meets are beginning. Stay focused in your races. Let them develop organically and make your move from a different place each week. Always cooldown and warm up well, and remember to get into dry clothes post race.
