And what a day it was. The rain! The mud! The feeling of “I can hardly see, but we’re gonna keep pedaling, damnit!” I crossed the finish line of the 50 mile race more than an hour faster than the year before* and I felt like a million bucks, despite a very wet, very muddy ride. I was already thinking about going back for the 100 in 2023.
“Feeling more connected with my training I could now push myself further. Whether it was a threshold workout to hit specific power levels or recovery rides where I could actually pick terrains that would reflect a relaxing ride outdoors (and not the -15 degree and ice covered road outside my window).”
