Reading the Course and Managing Conditions
You rarely win a race based on what you do when everything's going well.

By now, you know how to write a race plan and maintain a pace. Here, you're moving up a level: turning the course and weather into allies. You're going to learn to arrive at the start line with a solid Plan A and a ready Plan B, with a clear mind.
