Dirt Camp Racing

Some people pin numbers.
Some people pin the entire weekend together.

From jackets and bags… to bottles, aid stations, housing, camps, team calls, and making sure we actually get to the start line on time, somehow does it all (usually while carrying half the team’s belongings 😅).

This photo pretty much says it all.

There are a lot of moving pieces behind every race weekend, and we simply wouldn’t run the way we do without Erin, our Team Director, keeping things organized and the team cared for every step of the way.

Thank you for the countless things you do that most people never even see. We appreciate you more than we can put into words 🫶

Big efforts at Angler’s Ridge from the team this past weekend 💥

At some point, everyone has race day nerves.

The goal isn’t to feel good the entire time while racing, it’s to be effective when it counts.

Discomfort, nerves, uncertainty… that’s the environment of racing. Learn to take it and turn it into action.

A few cues we use:

🔹 Discomfort = you’re in it
That’s where the race actually starts.

🔸 Shift the mindset
“This is what I trained for.”

🔹 Nerves = readiness
Your body is preparing, not holding you back.

🔸 Keep it simple in-race
Short cues. Stay present. Focus on what’s in front of you.

The best racers don’t avoid discomfort. They know what to do when it shows up.

Pick a phrase. Practice it. Use it next race.

For us, that’ll be at the 👊
