i wonder who is taking willows picture














i wonder about racing when you train for something for months or years, then the day comes and you are ready to rip then the bike breaks, flat or some bike problem happens. or the day you dont give a damn about the race, dont train for it, dont eat right, dont prepare properly and then out of nowhere you have power, dominate, rip it and win with ease. no worries no stress no pressure. then there are the days of suffering. when nothing with the body goes right and you wish for a flat, broken leg or something just to stop the pain. but when you are feeling like dog meat the bike works perfect.
odd story but thats how it goes for me out on the trail.

maybe thats the key. pressure comes from within, get rid of it and dominate.
