Adaptation on is fun stuff Sara. You will build base strength that will make it easier to build year after year. I guess your coach wants to keep you in this stupid sport.
Adaption is fun, Shovel. It's deceiving how hard it is to do properly, too.
I've got at least another season to see how I fit and how I do. I'm still hunting for my niche, but I've got some solid foundation building. What's cool is that the master's women have completely accepted me. That goes a long way towards making this silly sport rewarding. Once I figure out the mental game, how to keep from getting down and down on myself, I'll start to enjoy it a lot more. This season has been harder on me mentally than it has physically. Physically I've made gains. Mentally I've gone backwards. Listening to the post-race interviews on the Tour broadcast has told me that I'm not alone in trying to keep my chin up. It seems to be the BIG challenge in this sport.
