Great week off with no travel and racing.  Remember... "a young trapeze artist was frozen in fear on a high platform, unable to make the jump.  The trapeze instructor said... throw your heart over the bar and your body will follow."  As always, build CONFIDENCE by reflecting, and writing down, where your Effort was right, where you had Success, and where you made Progress.  Prepare for the upcoming opportunities this weekend... execute early with poise, engage in competition, and finish with effort.
