Training tip #146
Aim for the 2nd steepest climb on your training route, make sure it's really cold and you get up at 5am to see your brother off to the airport, then just as your legs are about to give out and thoughts of walking are crossing your mind spot a random walker/flasher/drug dealer at the side of the trail. See how quickly you pedal now? That's your breakfast burning in your throat by the way.
Training tip #147
As you succumb to fatigue on the steepest climb of your route and push the last few metres look out for the incoming labrador, legs splayed as they each fight to be the first on the ground, tongue lolling around wildly, is that froth in the corner of it's mouth? No time to think about it as it bounds up on you in a playful but bitey sort of way. The owner finally emerges and emabarrased, calls the dog back. Does he put her on a lead? Of course not, watch how it does an impression of a boomerang and comes charging back towards you for another bite of that skinny cyclists arm. See how quickly you pedal off to find the next random walker/flasher/drug dealer?
