Howdy folks,

Wow.

Had a conversation with a client today. Topic?

“Can this really be the last free weekend before the Cross season starts?”

Yeah.

Hell yeah.

Heck, here in Seattle, racing starts on Monday.

Right?!?!

So, hey, don’t panic, OK?

If you’re racing on Monday?

Take today off.

Yup, off.

Or take it really easy.

Unless you’re really focusing on targets that are further on up the road…

In that case, or if you aren’t racing this weekend/on Monday?

Go Long, Damnit!

That’s pretty much the workout description.

If you’re racing a full season of cross, this might just be the last good chance you’re going to get to put some serious time in on the bike.

2.5, 3, 4, 5… 6 hours?

Whatever time span seems just a little bit long for you, that’s what you should shoot for today.

Go long. Leave it all out on the road this weekend.

It’s (probably) your last shot at it.

Have fun!
