As you can see in my siggy,

"Slow is smooth, smooth is fast."

Reminds me to relax and do what I know I can do.

Oooh, I love this topic!
Mine is usually one of two things: The best encouragement I ever heard was while climbing Lynch Hill at Wildflower, someone yelled, "Pain is temporary, your finish time will last on the internet forever!" I think that all the time now while racing!
My other one, for some reason is "Kick it" from the beginning of a Beastie Boys song.

I am a high school math teacher, so every time it gets painful during a race, I say to my self:  Are you gonna be like some of these drop out kids: complain and quit OR try your best and be successful?

I don't really have a mantra, just trying to get my post count up so I can try to sell a pair of wheels.......

 

I guess if I have to contribute, it would be "I'mmmmmmm gonna kill uuuuuuuu"  -gwar

Haha great thread!
 
I keep telling myself "Harder . . . you're almost there" even at the beginning.
 
Whenever I start to feel the pain I say to myself "forward!" sometimes even out loud
