You are now going to learn how to stop
your form from dropping off if you are passed
by another competitor, or if you are passing another competitor:
If you are like most people, then you will generally find that if you
are passed by another
competitor then your form may drop off.
Why?
It's because you are no longer focused on your race, but your mind
starts to become aware that you have been passed by another athlete and
starts to wander. This is natural.
You may also find the same thing happens if you yourself pass another
competitor.
Why?
Because again, your mind is now focused on what you have just achieved
and you are no longer focused on your race. Again this is normal.
However, what you can do to regain your form is to imagine that there
is a piece of string between the competitor that has just passed you,
or the competitor that you have just passed. Then pretend to take out a
pair of scissors and cut the piece of string.
Doing this acts to break the mental link you have to the competitor and
then allows you to focus
fully on your race. You should start to see an instant improvement in
your form.
