THE BEST OF YOU!?

WERE YOU BORN TO RESIST, OR BE ABUSED?

I swear I'll never give in, I refuse.

The big event is on the calendar; it's getting real, close. The base miles have been laid. Race-specific crosstraining completed. Bike dialed, test, prepped, perfect. Eating has been maybe too perfect. The final weeks of bigger, max mileage and intensity...

... you should be excited...

... but you're exhausted, just want it to be over.

If I can hit that threshold of borderline burnout 2 weeks out, and spend the next 2 weeks healing and resting and sleeping with a few short efforts designed primarily to make me feel most excellent, then I know I've done all I can do.

When done properly it's truly a better than ever feeling...

... like being born to resist, and I swear I'll never give in!

Do you know what I'm talking about? That feeling?

I hope so.

I'm starting to see more and more events pop up. The RaceDay Calendar is starting to take shape. Soon I'll have to start making choices as to which ones are going to be all in and which will be training.

That's part of the fun.

Looking at the calendar. Dropping in A and B races, family commitments, work responsibilities, etc.

Which is why I love this huge calendar, I can see the entire year at a glance.
