#2 THE HOTEL HOURS

With racing in the late afternoon there is a whole day in front of me. Waiting all these hours at the hotel dealing with all your race thoughts, dreams and fantasies isn’t helpful for me. So I approach it like a normal day. I have breakfast, go for a little walk or ride my

bike with a coffee stop at a nice coffee bar. Just like I do at home. It distracts me from racing and gives me a comfortable feeling.

Back at the hotel I have lunch and start to prepare my ‘race bag’. A mix of nerves and excitement rushes through my body and mind now. The race is coming closer, it’s time to leave the hotel and switch to a more focused mode.

Tomorrow I’m going to talk about the race format and the pressure that comes with it. See you then!
