New Year...New Approach

2011 will be the year in which I prove everybody that has believed in me right and the ones that didnt believe in me wrong. I promised myself this as soon as my coach and I worked on my training plan months ago. I was going to work 100% and not have any regrets when I stand on the start line at Collegiate Nationals a few months from now. In the past I would have doubts in my training. I would think I should have done more to prepare for this race. Rarely getting past 16 hrs on the bike. This season I have a new approach. I am willing to do everything the right way. I have had to make a ton of sacrifices, but in the end I believe it will be worth it. This new approach is not just physical, but mental. I have been training my mind to block out all negative talk and feedback that I may get from from a workout, race and people. I believe that the mind is the hardest part of the body to train because it takes hours and hours of concentrating and most Americans today give up if they dont get positive feedback right away. I am hoping all this hard work will pay off and I will be able to get to the start in May not only physical prepared, but mentally as well.
