DROP ANCHOR OR DROP BALLAST?
IT'S AN UPHILL BATTLE. Somewhere up ahead is the finish line, in the mist and the clouds. I'm so close to smashing my PR...
... the legs and lungs are burrrrrrrning!
I've done this climb many times.
9 miles up.
3300' of elevation gain
There is only one choice to make...
- drop anchor, and quit trying
- drop ballast, and get better
... and it's not an easy decision to make.
Because, the goal has haunted me for years.
To break 1 hour,
up.
To break 1.5 hours,
up and down.
Which begs the questions...
- What is holding me back?
- What can I eliminate?
... there is always something we can ditch to go further,
faster.
