“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”

Coaching Week is less than a week away now, and yesterday in the midst of my trainer spin i really felt like i was beginning to make some progress. Of course the real test will be how i feel when i get to the roads of southern Arizona.
A glimpse at the records shows that my ave MPH on the bike has gone from 15.61 mph in January to 17.60 mph in February while my HR has remained steady at an ave of 141 bpm. Even though the average has remained steady, i have had a lot of rides with an ave HR of around 130 bpm. I think this means i am getting more efficient on the bike, that's a good thing. My average cadence is way up as well, now averaging in the low 90's. January's average cadence was in the mid 80's. The amount of time i am willing to be on the saddle for any given ride has increased as well. Yahoo! I am as ready for Arizona as I have ever been.
