Description

Sharing a few surprising lessons I learnt racing in a local mountain bike (and e-mtb) hobby race on the weekend. If you want to see the type of trails we rode and a fun little moment when Berni's mom called, then watch this short video on YT: https://youtube.com/shorts/0MOuFHehn6A?feature=share 


I also talk about:


  • an inspirational story one of the racers (aged 70+!) shared with us


  • the elusive Flow State (and about how some people confuse Flow with an adrenaline rush - and the dangers of doing so according to neuroscience)


  • a motivating concept about learning, especially at an advanced age (quoting James Clear) 


  • why (re-)focusing during a race matters


  • self talk strategies for more confidence, persistence and patience


  • practice culture vs. crash culture 


  • how to instrumentalise mountain biking to contribute to happiness
