Nervous

Im getting a little shaky whenever I think about the race next Saturday. Every time I think about the start, and just the competition itself, I just get really nervous. Even as Im typing this my hands are shaking. This is really getting to me, and It really shouldn't. I've been training out there at COP at least 8 times in the last 2 months, not to mention hitting the gym for the last 5 months. And yet, Im still feeling a bit chicken about the whole thing.

I know I can do it, its just a matter of keeping myself together, and calm. I just have to conquer my fears and forget about all the scary features out there. For instance, I was out at the Source terrain park hitting the jumps there, and I was getting huge airs, and it didn't bother me.

Now when I go over to the boardercross track, I lose it again. Im not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the track itself. I guess I'm over thinking it too much. I just gotta remember that its just snowboarding. Its not like boardercross is a totally different sport. Look at most of the other athletes in the sport, they came over to boardercross as freestlye and slopestyle athletes, and they're really good at it.

I just gotta keep calm and remember, that Im not out to win this race coming up. Im in it to get some good competitive experience, and to really try to shake all this nervousness while im out there.

Ill be out there at the track tomorrow practising again.
