A little nervous...

[owlice]

Catrin, I hope you put foremost in your mind that you won, not the dog! He was hoping to have you for lunch; you didn't give him the opportunity!

Roar, woman, roar!!

(I'm partly serious there; roaring might really help you get past the jitters! Might get you to giggling, too, and that's always a good thing!)

Yes, I try to keep this in mind - I did indeed WIN and got away from the dog even without beautiful purple chain-mail leggings This nervousness will pass in time as I get more rides in without repeats, and I think talking about it here helps. If I were to talk to my non-cycling peeps about it I KNOW what they would say and giving up cycling simply is not going to happen

I like the roaring idea
