Meet my friends the Mikes. We ride bikes. (Yeah - I'm Dr. Suessish today). Somehow I became their coach. As in I make them training plans, and they actually follow them! What's really awesome is that they are getting stronger. And FAST! And I have a completely new appreciation for what my coach does for me.
I find myself rooting for them to keep going when the plan gets tough, to please listen to their bodies and not injure themselves by following a plan I put on paper if something doesn't feel right, and to remember that their families are #1, training is #2. Come race day at CA70.3 and Wildflower hopefully I will get to see them owning the course!
