Makes me feel fast...

So yeah I spent a small fortune on some brakes for the race rig. But you know what the first time I hopped on my bike after they were installed I felt faster. Call it crazy, but a lot of this game is mental and they make me feel fast. Wanna know something else that makes me feel fast...

LeBam makes me feel fast. In her eyes I am the fastest Daddy on two wheels. How can I feel slow when she is cheering so loud - did I mention she has a cowbell collection.

Talking "smack" to this guy makes me feel fast too.

Whatever it takes. I always struggle with the mental capacity of racing, especially the self worth aspect. This year I am focusing on feeling fast, surrounding myself with positive people and thoughts. I deserve that front row starting spot, the podium, the blinky light and bar tape prizes, I have worked hard and am ready to rip it up!

...What make you feel fast? Surround yourself in fast, what ever that may be for you - new kit, brakes, tires, wheels, lucky base layer, pre-race ritual, new socks every race - it's all good, if you feel fast then half the battle is over.
