The Abominable Triathlete

These are indeed the times that try our souls. And our sneakers. And our 5 shirts. It's amazing to me how deeply I have fallen into the local New England amnesia: "Awww, winter's not that bad!" I say this now...if any of you hear me say that this summer, smack me. Becuase this winter is bad. It is wreaking havoc with my training plan! I mean, didn't Old Man Winter get a copy of my assault on IM Arizona? Doesn't he know I need to be out on my bike for three hours this weekend?? Does he know no mercy???

Why We Need Winter
It makes us tougher. Sure, it's hard to watch the weather and see folks out in shorts and t-shirts on the Left Coast. But I think they are missing out on that extra layer of toughness that a 3+ hour trainer ride brings!

Take a moment and post a message on the PTS forum on how winter makes us tougher!

Train On!
