Nail the basics
“Devil is in the details”. A slightly odd phrase which implies that being nitty-gritty with the details is where extraordinary results are made. Triathletes, with their often A-type personalities, love to get deep into the details. In triathlon, however, it’s all wrong. The extraordinary results are made when doing the ordinary and basic stuff … Fortsett å lese Nail the basics
