One of the most important principles I've learned is, every so often, just drop everything. Stop racing from one party to the next.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the best way is to forget about racing people and just find territory that's fresh.
If you think about racing too much you may just lose it a little bit.
I've been around racing a fairly long time, but when it comes to the important issues, I'm happy to let others make the big decisions.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday I took time to reflect on what is most important to me and realized I need to find a way to put the fun back into racing.
There's always hurdles. So I just keep moving, just constantly redefining myself. That's how you stay in the race.
I save the race for the race and I don't let it all out in practice.
Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It's part of racing.
Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.
Things you don't expect come up, and you have to adapt. You can't let it throw you off. You have to cope. Those are all really valuable skills, in life and racing.
I've been racing for my whole life, and I know what I need to do to be able to win.
