The joy and frustration of spring training in Vermont
This past Saturday I went out for a 4+ hour ride in the dreary cloudy weather with a temperature hovering around 50. It was cold, gloomy, windy and I was pretty grumpy. I didn’t see another cyclist the entire ride. On the flip side, yesterday it was sunny and 70 degrees and I saw a plethora of cyclists! It makes me appreciate those nice spring days even more. So what do I do for motivation when the weather is not helping? I think of the quote I heard awhile ago, but can’t remember where…”good athletes train when they want to, great athletes train when they don’t.” So go out there regardless of the weather and (as PowerBar says) “Be Great!”
