Well, I've finally gotten over being sick and tired and have moved forward in my training. To what you might ask? Well, I've been asking myself this question often in the past couple of weeks. Without tipping my hat or showing my cards or any other cliche you'd maybe like to hear, I have some big "stuff" going on in my life.
All I can say at this moment is that I'm cross training, maintaining old fitness and building new fitness for some challenges that may be coming my way in the near future.
Life is good when you train your weakness. Trust me. So now I'm out there, in the gym, on the road, in the pool, whatever, training my weaknesses and getting ready to kick butt when the time comes.
Keep the rubber side down.
We all have opportunities to get better, or at least slow down. When we train for our weaknesses, we get better overall. This past season I focused on (besides getting across the country in one piece), interval training. With the help of Erik Kenney of EK Endurance Coaching, I was able to train my weakness and get faster. Who would have thought that I'd be able to complete the Race Across America solo and then come back and finish all races entered, including cyclocross and multiple crits and other events?
