2012 Ride for Karen
 It Is Time To Get Ready

 

Greetings!

We hope you are enjoying your summer. The weather has been perfect for riding and for getting ready for this year's Ride for Karen. So, if you have not signed up yet, please do so at: www.rideforkaren.com

I recently read a great article on the importance of a strong mind in training and racing. The ideas came from Chrissie Wellington, a four-time World Ironman champion. Below are a couple of her highlights, which I thought we very relevant to training for the Ride for Karen. 

  • Champion Chrissie Wellington says a strong mind is an athlete's greatest attribute
  • Ability to push hard during races and during practice is key
  • A strong mind helps you stay positive, focused, and self-aware, even when in discomfort

  • You can read the entire article here: Ironman Champ: Your Mind Matters More
