The Final Countdown

We are in the final two weeks of training before heading to this year’s World Championships in Glasgow. This will be the biggest world championship event in decades as all cycling disciplines will be together in one location at the same time. Mindset is key, I’m continuing to use visualization to get the most out of my training. I’m focused on training myself to view certain threshold efforts on the bike as something I can do easily. This allows me to remind myself in the moment during a race of exactly what I need to do. My upward trajectory since Italy this past May has continued as I remind myself old limits need not apply. In prior years, these last two weeks leading up to the World Championships have not been engaging, rather I was ready to push my bike aside after a full season of pressure and hard work. All I see now are new possibilities, curiosity of the gameplay I can go through to test, define, and achieve new limits.
