Hehe. Seriously, I find that hard to believe, as you've raced for years, and you race frequently. I'm only in my 5th year, and I don't race nearly as often as you.

It's taken 4 years to get control of those thoughts. I used to believe them and although I tried riding harder, once the thoughts were in my head, my race was done.

Acknowledging that you have those thoughts and refusing to let them dominate your consciousness will do much to allowing yourself to get closer to your potential. That, and living like a monk and training like a rabid dog, a la Hermes.
