At Unbound, everyone has an incredible story.
This year we had our largest group ever if athletes take the start and set off to win their rides.
Winning your ride is about setting personal goals using three key components as your North Star:
- The Why (your purpose)
- The Perspective (your story)
- The Outcome (what you want)
The win comes when you set your clear goals and hit them through your best race-day execution.
Below you will notice some of these wins are not even finishes. This is because sometimes there are B factors that are outside of your control. But your wins are around your A game and how you executed. It is better to try and win your execution and have things go wrong rather than to hold back and give less to ensure things go smoothly.
Congratulations to these CINCH badasses who won their EXTREMELY difficult rides at Unbound this year.
