OK so I used to get extremely nervous before races - I would think about them all day (or week) and could feel knots in my stomach hours before I even got to the race. However, recently I have noticed that I rarely feel these emotions anymore. In fact, I barely can get myself pumped up for a race and have even yawned on the starting line! Is this just because racing has become "old hat" or do you think there's something wrong? Anyone else ever deal with this?
Yawning is a positive sign of nervousness. Totally normal.
I used to yawn when I was nervous or embarrassed or uncomfortable with social awkwardness. It's impossible to say whether this is the reason you're yawning.
but the yawn i have done on the line most definitely is not associated with being nervous or whatever. i just kind of feel mentally "flat"... suggestions/experiences?
I have heard that those who yawn before a race have very low sex drive and are bad in bed.
I always have to piss right before a race.
