2DAY'S MASTERCLASS

TWO OF THE LAST THREE DAYS OF THE GIRO showed a level of mastery few attain.  There is no hack that we can employ...

... this takes years.

As noted by the great Sun Tzu...

... Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

On Friday and on Sunday, the winner of the stage was distanced.  Gapped.  The announcers let us know things weren't looking good at all.

How very wrong they were.

Koen and Jai, rode right up to their very limit.  Rather than going beyond a sustainable pace chasing the leaders they held strong to what they knew they could do...

... kept clawing their way back.

To victory!

There are 2 ways to acquire this skill:

• Intervals
• Racing

That's it.

Just riding around ain't gonna do it.  Your limits won't be exposed.

And, as Uncle Harry says...

... A racer's gotta know their limitations.

Do you know yours?
You must know.
No guessing.
Imperative.

Most people don't, because it hurts reallyreally bad.
Most people race first, then seek to win.

It's Monday, what are you going to win this week?

• Ride
• Race
• Sleep

• Hydration
