First of Feburary and 71 days to Olympic 2x Trials.
This cycle so far has featured some very challenging Threshold work on the water. Our focus has shifted from pushing ourselves to failure in the weight room to failure on the water. Each piece is meant to push you past your comfort zone and into the area where you start questioning whether you can finish or not. Each stroke is meant to replicate the most uncomfortable stroke of a 2k....for two hours. It is incredibly painful but I am hoping the rewards of enduring this type of load and intensity will be great come racing. The ability to be uncomfortable and on edge for an entire race is a deadly weapon and one that I personally have never had. Having said that, it is a distinct possibility that we will not make it through this cycle alive!
