A corollary for this might be great rule of thumb I’ve got from mountain biking and skiing: “when you start to mess up the easy stuff is when you back it off and call it”.
Start coming up short on the easy little tabletops? Start finding yourself in the backseat on ski turns a bit too much? Time to have a break and reevaluate before you axe yourself because your skill for recovering might be saving you on the easy stuff, but if you’re not nailing that, you’re almost certainly going to screw up something with more serious consequences.
- pmontra 3y ago> “when you start to mess up the easy stuff is when you back it off and call it”. A few nights ago I was parking my car parallel to the side of a street, the usual retro maneuver. I failed it badly, unusual but it happens. I got out and did it again. Failed again. That was when I understood that I was really tired. I probably made too much sport in the previous days. I got out and made it right, then took a couple of days of rest.
