In the book '7 habits of effective people' the strategy of win/win situations is promoted and I think that has been a drawback for me in the past where I have used this in racing.
Racing requires a win/loose mentality.
The sequence of photos above is from a race I competed in, in Iceland. I won the first race easy and on the first lap of the second race I hit a hidden rock whilst leading and fell. I quickly moved up to second place and settled in to the leaders pace. As the race went on I had worked out where I would make my pass at the end of the race. The pace was quick and at one point I did wonder if I could win the race. However, it was very important to me to win the race and at this point the win/loose strategy was put to use.
It would have been great if he had stayed on because the last two laps would have made a great race even better. As soon as the race finished I went over to congratulate him on the great race!
