CCCX #1 Race Win

I had to stay very positive, and dig very deep inside the suitcase of courage, and in the end I was the winner at CCCX #1. This photo was shot on the final hill of the final lap and it was as I made my move for the win.

Mind Over Matter

I want to tap all of my potential. I want to ride better and keep improving. This will only happen from a strong mind which is only focused on my cycling. I must stay super motivated, and always produce extra hard efforts during my racing and workouts.

CCCX XC #1

The course is set..............

It is time to race as hard as possible.

Intervals & Practice

Yesterday I did many hard intervals on the XC course that will be used for this Sunday's CCCX race. I hit the hills as hard as possible, and I know where the pressure spots on the course will be. I must dig extra deep and stay extra motivated and positive if I want to have success.

TBF RACING

I won my division at the first MTB Challenge race in Folsom. It rained all night long, and the course was wet and really technical. It was a good test of my MTB skills and endurance.

Uphill Riding

Today it was some good climbing sessions up some good hills. Tomorrow it will be rest and recovery. I really am making gains and ready to race harder then ever.

The mountains are so good for me to workout when cycling.

It is where I ride and what I do.

It makes me stronger and a more complete cyclists.

I am getting better, stronger, and faster.

This Weekends Race

I am really looking forward to this weekends race. I like the course at Folsom Lake and am very eager to race as hard as possible.

I Ride The Mountains~

When possible I will ride hills and mountains. I ride Fremont Peak, Robinson Canyon, Mt Hamilton, Sierra Road, Mt Diablo, or any hills and peaks I can find.

I ride the mountains, it is what I do.

My Race

I have to focus on my race.

Working Hard~

Stretching, massage, high quality food intake, recovery, rest, positive thinking, super hard efforts in training, visualizing success, dreaming of miracles, love of the fight, wanting more and never being satisfied. All of this combined with working hard to be better, stronger, and faster, will take me to how I want to race.

CHAMPION

TO BE A CHAMPION, YOU MUST RISK ALL.

I went for broke today at the Early Bird Patterson Road Race, and instead my front spoke broke with 4 miles to go. I was off the front, with a 25 second lead when it happened. There were only 4 miles to go in the race and it looked as if I was on my way to a win.

I am riding well, and ready to fight.

Road Race

It has been really cold and raining the last few days, and tomorrow is a Road Race up into the high mountains. I plan on racing.

Focus~

I must focus on my race.

Of course I have to read the way a race is going, and know who to watch and when to react during the race.

What I can control most is my race.

I must focus on myself and keep positive always.

Even when I am not racing I must not lose focus on my goals and racing dreams.

I must keep focused when riding and I must keep focused when I am off the bike and needing recovery.

To keep focus is most important for me.
