Consistency And Growth Mindset Drive Improvement
- Consistent, long-term effort plus learning from mentors produced major performance gains for Joe at Javelina.
- He emphasizes growth mindset: skills and fitness are malleable with focused work.
Three-Year Redemption Arc
- Joe recounts three Javelina attempts: a strong debut, a year ruined by missing electrolytes, then a redemption PR.
- The second-year logistics mistake (forgot electrolytes) triggered dehydration and a worse finish.

- Prioritize durability (fatigue resistance) over extra speed when your legs break down late in races.
- Build volume and repeated long efforts so you can hold pace longer rather than just chase faster turnover.
