I found this interesting snippet from an USAT article on "worrying about what might go wrong in a race."
Conclusion:
If you’re not enjoying the training – the process – then why do it? You have to enjoy the time spent on the long rides, at the track, the long hours in the pool. To quote someone much smarter than me: The journey is the destination. Yes, we all want to perform well. But focusing on what is beyond our control is a fruitless endeavor. Did you become a better athlete over the past six months of training, most likely, yes. You’re a better triathlete even if your race doesn’t go well.
