53 looks happy on me, if I do say so myself.
Something really special happened yesterday.
I woke up so excited to race. No anxiety. No nerves. Just so excited to play bikes.
And I experienced such a powerful rush of joy and freedom and flying-
I have tears in my eyes writing this.
Every moment I doubted myself going into this Championships utterly disappeared.
WOW.
JOY… JOY… JOY…
I hope everyone has something that makes them feel tremendous joy.
