Over the weekend one of the athletes that I coach won a bike race. Now I am pretty psyched when any of my athletes does well but in this case I was (and still am) super psyched. Emily Alexander won the Category 4 Women’s Race at The Ridge Circuit Race. Emily has come a long way since I started working with her sometime back in the Fall of 2014 and it was awesome to see all of her hard work rewarded. It isn’t just about working hard though because she has also done a great job wrapping her head around working smarter, racing smarter and pushing through when things get tough. More important than what Emily has learned about training and racing though is what she has learned about herself through the process. Congratulations Emily! Job well done.
