What a gutsy, raw, and honest interview Pieter. I know well what it’s like to “overthink” and set the bar so high, then face disappointment. Good on you for sharing your experiences - I don’t think there is enough honesty in this beautiful sport of ours. I wish you the best of luck on Saturday Pieter, may you have an awesome race. And remember, even if you have a crap race, we will still be cheering for you. Go Pieter.
It is so good to hear from an athlete that is willing to reveal the dark side of racing. So many of us ordinary athletes take comfort in this. It is easy to let the DNF's mount up. But Pieter's words about basically better to have a shit race that collect DNF's. Good racing Pieter!
Thanks for talking about mental health and the mental side of racing! Best of luck!
