The Workout Of The Day for Wednesday, 10.26.11. – “Dissection”
Howdy folks,
Welcome to Wednesday… as always, that means that today the focus is on the technical side, and we’re working on our…
Cyclocross Skills –
If you’re new to this whole Workout Of The Day thing, please be sure to go back and check out Monday’s Post.
We’re kind of working on a theme here this week…
.
OK?
.
Read it?
.
Great.
Keep all that in mind, and don’t be afraid to take it kinda’ easy today if you need to.
If you have been playing along with us, you’re probably pretty familiar with the general workout formula from Wednesday by now.
We’ve been spending most of our time on Wednesdays dissecting our skills…
We’ve spent a bunch of time figuring out what isn’t working for us, and trying to fix those little broken, orphaned parts of our skill set.
Not today.
As part of our “rest week” mantra, today we’re going to focus solely on the positive.
We’re going to work on one thing, one thing only, and it’s going to be the one thing you really think you’re good at.
(…and no, I don’t want to hear “But Matt, I suck at everything…” Positive thoughts only, today, OK?!)
No dissection, no criticism, no getting down on yourself for being really bad at your remounts… none of that.
Today, you’re going to pick one thing that you’re really good at, skills-wise, and you’re going to fine tune it.
– Do you have a great start?
Cool. Tonight, you’re going to make your start even better.
– Are you fantastic over the barriers?
Nice. Drill the crap out of your barrier skills tonight, and make ’em even better.
Today is all about fine-tuning.
Take that one thing that you are best at, and hone it into a keen-edged weapon, ready to be unleashed in your next race.
As you’re working on that skill (whatever it is) visualize how that skill – perfectly executed – is going to win you your next race.
Nice imagery, eh?
Have fun!
