RACEDAY PERFORMANCE IS NOT AN INDICATION OF HOW FAST YOU ARE.
RACEDAY PERFORMANCE IS NOT AN INDICATION OF HOW FAST YOU ARE. If you're looking at it that way, you're bound to fall short of the mark. Instead, how well we do...
... shows how hard we worked leading up to the start line.
No amount of want can make up for a lack of prep.
Ever.
I was thinking about that yesterday. It was my first day of laying base mileage down.
Base mileage is like laying tile. It's slow work, demanding exactness in terms of effort. When I do it right, when I throttle back my efforts for a few weeks...
... I can feel the energy of a hungry, caged animal.
But, I keep holding back.
I keep laying down the miles.
Keep lifting the weights.
Keep stretching.
In time, I'll join a group ride (mine are analog, digital is great if weather is a hinderance) and allow myself to hang on without out getting after it.
The animal paces back and forth, angry purring.
Miles.
Weights.
Stretching.
Laying that tile, with a beautiful mosaic...
... unleashing a little bit more each group ride.
