Cornering is like bringing a woman to a climax. Both you and the car must work together. You start to enter the area of excitement at the corner, you set up a pace which is right for the car and after you've told it it is coming along with you, you guide it along at a rhythm which has by now become natural. Only after you've cleared the corner you can both take pleasure in knowing it's gone well.

The times when I am running the best are when it feels effortless. The body is on autopilot, doing what you have trained it to do.
The essence of all practice is to be cool. Life is not worth getting excited about because whatever you perceive is an illusion.
