Clara Honsinger is a 3x USA cyclocross National Champion, and she has stood on the podium of several CX World Cups. In my opinion, Clara is the epitome of being a calm and composed racer; we often see her calmly and steadily make her way through the field to claim a podium spot in the biggest races. In this conversation, Maghalie and Clara discuss the balance between calm and excitement. How does Clara find calm through the chaos and pressure of racing? Can there be something as being too calm? If so, how does she get herself excited? We discuss all that and way more.

This year, the kit Rapha designed for me is based on emotions. More specifically, the emotions of racing. 

On the kit, each colour represents an emotion that I believe is key to a good racing mindset. Happiness, Calm, Excitement, Focus, Awareness, and agressivity. 

On this podcast series, I will sit down with different athletes to dig deep into each of these racing emotions; to discuss all sides of each emotions and try and learn from each of these great athletes.
