This is a good article for all the racers out there. As I lock into the 2nd season of cyclocross, I’ve noticed my feelings about the races have changed. Last year, it was just exciting to do and I didn’t really feel any pressure beyond normal heightened anticipation to race. This season, however, I feel the stakes are higher,because so many have invested in my development and I want to represent their investment well. Consequently, I’ve been working on managing my emotions better and keeping a tight watch on the self-talk. (Can’t stress how important that’s been for me.)
