ARE THOSE GUYS PROS?
YOUNG PUP was up the road a bit. I was on my mtb, so figured I couldn't catch him. But, I was going about the same speed and...
... cut through the dirt.
How ya feelin' after Saturday?
I'm feelin' it, those guys are so good.
I was smoked afterwards.
Tell me, I've done that ride 5 or 6 times now, and I just can't hang on...
... are those guys pros?
We've all had those thoughts...
- we think we're in shape
- they show their in better shape
- we wonder how it's possible they're so much faster
... when we're new, there's just no way to appreciate what it takes.
Or, took.
Right?
I mean, looking at the other athletes, they don't look that much different.
If at all.
So, what gives?
Here's the fact.
To get good at endurance sports...
- mentally
- physically
- spiritually
... we've got to learn how to endure.
Enduring doesn't mean plowing through the suck, it means...
... appreciating every second, until years have passed.
They're not pro,
they've been riding for 5+ years.
It takes time, to be refined...
... in the refiner's fire.
