All about confidence

Last week near my home I was riding the trails that I usually do and I finally found a new one very technical.  After a long and very steep climbing, the trail was going down with lots of rocks, roots and stiff turns were you have to put all your focus.  At one time I wasn’t sure if I can pass a very very technical part.  I decided to stop and look at it at first… Finally, I returned to my bike and I decided to try it with this in my mind ‘’I can do it, I am not scare, I can do it’’.  So I succeeded on first time!!  What a good feeling!!  I think It was all about confidence.  Naturally, I think the 29 wheels helped me to pass over some roots  and rocks.  Now I am doing it really relax.  I am always enjoying that kind of challenge.

This week will be our fisrt big race of the season.  First round of the Canada Cup in Bromont, Quebec.  First race for me because 2 weeks ago I didn’t take the start of a regional race because I was sick.  My fitness is good and my strategy is very simple :  put myself at my limit with good consistence and good focus.  Will see and ajust training after.
