Harden The F*ck Up!

That's what i told myself as i rolled into a 3.5hr ride in 45° rain on my mountain bike this morning. Why do these hairbrain decisions seem so good when made from the warmth and comfort of my home?

I guess the theory goes: if you train in conditions equal or worse than your hardest race, you adapt, super-compensate and perform well when it counts...


...or you just become cold, miserable, and give up on training all together.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the former is true.
