I can attest to that. If you think, the move has already been made or the gap has been closed where you were going to go. I am terrible about that.

Are you familiar with the phrase "self-fulfilling prophecy"?
If you're riding along and you see a patch of broken glass on one side of the shoulder, and a big, fat, sun-baked and bloated road kill on the other edge of the shoulder, you don't look at the glass or the road kill. The bike will go where you look, so you look at the patch of smooth pavement in between. It's not a bad outlook for life either. Focus most of your time and energy on what can go right rather than what can go wrong.
Unless you work for FEMA or the Department of Homeland Security... Then I'd expect you to spend a lot of time thinking about what might go wrong!

naw, race anyway. prolonging your anxiety will only kill you. Have two goals: ride your bike as fast as you can and hold your line thought corners.
