I do not compete in sports as I am 55 and exercise mainly for health and connection with friends/fsmily. I do hike alone at times and there are moments when I have taken off on a trail that has proved to be more physically demanding than I anticipated. I often experience anxiety about what might happen if I needed someone and I was alone. These situations present to me and I have leaned into breathwork. Mindfulness as in body scan and asking what I see, feel, smell, touch. I remind myself I have my phone and I only hike when I tell others where I will be. I also share my location with a friend.
