Does anyone ever feel like they could always be doing more? I always do my best and leave it all out on the field, trail, gym, but at the end of the day feel like I need to do more. I don't want to over train, but I want to make sure that I'm doing everything that I can to prepare myself. I know it'll be a kick in the nuts either way, but I feel like I can lessen the pain in part by sweating now.

I realize this is opening Pandora's box and I could get smoke checked for bringing this up, but it's learning, albeit hard learning, and I accept it.

I thank you all for your time and dedication to this forum.

Assuming that you really are preparing as well as you can, I think that is the attitude you should have, until you arrive.

Then you should be comfortable that you have done everything you possibly could to prepare yourself, and rely upon your training to sustain you.

Too late to worry about it, at that point, and you should focus on completing each task you are given to the best of your abilities.

Good luck.
