We all know the mind plays a big part in training and racing, so it's really up to us to get the negative voices out of our heads. Today, we look at great accomplishments as we get older and how age is being re-defined. We talk about how people and news can pollute our belief system, and ways to get past our limiters. We look at why so many people put off the next phase in pursuit of perfection, but why it's so important to dive in and go now. Fill your voids with the right fuel. Also, a CLASH Daytona recap.
