2%
on my ride home last night on timber lane i flashed back to the hot spells we had this year. i had a very distinct memory of 102 degrees at 5:15. last night it was in the twenties and dark but i was warm. there is something about generating enough heat from within to withstand a very cold night.
anyway, as i turned on the military ridge trail i was thinking about 2%. like, if i could get 2% faster what would that mean? relative to 60 minutes of cross racing, i would be over a minute faster. that was the difference between 5th place and joe at hales corners. when you think about it that way, it sure doesn't seem all that unattainable. i think i have found my theme for training in 2013!
even colder on the ride in this morning. but, my motivation is high and i'm focused on laying down the best training i can in december.
happy tuesday.
