Also a very good read about training efforts and sports psychology, it's one of the book I recommend to all my athletes.
-Training should be as hard or harder than racing.
-If you spend time and effort developing an equipment and training plan for an event, you don't start changing things based on what you see others doing at that event. Stick with your plan and what you know works for you. Don't listen if your monkey says to change something because rider X is doing X. Post race is the time to asses and implement changes.
-No one is unbeatable.
