I was not using the gears I usually do for time trials - it was either hard [gear] to pedal, or really low [gear] to pedal; [that] was something special of today.

It all happened so fast. Someone slammed the brakes and there was no way to go, just straight into it.

It is exactly the unattainability, which differentiates a dream from a goal: Goals are reachable, when you fight for them. Dreams are not. Athletes shouldn't dream, but set goals for themselves and fight for them.

Every race is a war. Every race is a fight. If you don't go into every event with that belief, you will never achieve your goals.
