DO YOU HAVE THIS TALENT?

BE HONEST. Look over today's ride, the previous week, month, quarter and year. Next, look over your results. PRs, KOMs, Podiums, Titles. Now, here's the question...

... do you have talent?

Before you answer that, let me tell you about today.

My goal was a shockingly fast group ride. Pain. Humiliation. Complete exhaustion. I wanted it all because my fitness is lagging...

... and the races are fast approaching.

I chose Swami's.

It's habitually nasty.

This edition was extra saucy with Jess and Sam in town. Sam, who rides for Legion, and his henchmen, got after it from the start. While they take over the front and start spitting people out the back, the beautiful Jess sits in. Barely breathing...

... like it's a day at the spa.

Me?

Gassed.
Gapped.
Gone.

While Sam and Jess certainly have talent...

... there was a less obvious talent on display today.

Think about this.
They live in Montana.
400' deep in freezing snow.
They've been here for less than a week.

My fitness is lagging because we've had a bit of rain and I had the sniffles...

... they are in great shape to lay down serious training in our perfect clime.

The takeaway for me is to further develop...

... the talent to work hard.

We can all do that.
