Episode # 55 Tipping the Scales on Training
We need to have consistency in our training in all three supports. We also need to know when it is okay to go off the rails a bit. The great thing about being consistent on a global scale in your training is that you can let it slide a bit on a more local level. This allows for some great adventuring and fun to be had!

Episode # 54 Going with the Flow
The last two years, not one race has been set in stone. Some races have disappeared at the very last minute, and some added in just as short of time. Besides this being frustrating, we learned a great deal about what we think we need and what we actually need in order to prepare for a race. This adjustability is something can can hold onto for years to come.
