Lately I've been a little discouraged, I'm not seeing the results I want as quickly as I want them. But that's just part of the fun, isn't it? For me cycling isn't about the distance (although bragging is a lot of fun) It isn't about the race, (but I'll never shy away from a challenge) and it most certainly isn't about the speed (because I don't have it!)
No. For me, cycling is all mental. It's me and myself. Seeing how hard I can push it when I feel like there is nothing left, miraculously, I can always find a little more energy stored in the tank. It's about winning the argument with myself, to go home and sleep, every time I mount. It's about shortening the time that argument lasts. It's about strengthening, not only my body, but my determination. Because this is my sport.
And I'm never leaving.
