TRAINING LOG

TODAY’S WORKOUT: Skills sessions can be emotionally, physically, and mentally draining…so after you get done on the pump track, I want you to take ten minutes and write about what you learned, what was frustrating, what you did better on, and what you want to work on next. It’s a good idea to get this done while it’s still fresh in your mind! XO, Phoebe

YOUR NOTES: The session on the pump track was harder than I thought. I figured that building the track meant I knew how to navigate it perfectly, but turns out, I still have a lot to work on.

The biggest thing is making the bike work with me, not against me. Right now it feels like I’m fighting this downhill bike in a way that I didn’t fight with my smaller BMX bike on the whoops. I need to regain that control again. And I need to not let every small thing that Leo or Jen says stress me out—especially not in the heat of the moment when I’m on the bike.

When I was upset with Leo out there, I could feel my heart slamming in my chest, and I felt much less shaky once I got moving and put it out of my head. That kind of stressed-out attitude (like I’m in the middle of a test I didn’t study for) is only slowing me down. I will not let them bother me. I will not let them bother me. I will NOT let them bother me.

(Okay, maybe that’s not a great mantra to have, but it’s the best one I can think of right now. It’s a little hard to feel centered when everyone around you is making you want to scream.)
