Sometimes a venue in and of itself is inspiring. This may help in one's effort to obtain results for the day, or it may not. For me, the Norba Nationals/World Cup course at Mt. Snow Vermont was always an inspiration. The natural beauty of the area, and the truly challenging nature of the course came together to make for an unforgettable venue. Throw in the naked crit and great things were possible at Mt. Snow.
Sundays race was none of that. The parking lot smelled of leaky oil drums or some other semi-toxic waste, and the course was far from offering any sort of inspiration. These are the times when inspiration must come from within. Working the mind in the direction I need to go. Looking in for what it takes.
I dug pretty deep, but I need to go deeper.
