‘That was a tough go’ sigh Moll, ‘You survived the cycle on 10 to 12 percent hills, then a very hilly 5 km run. There is nothing wrong with walking the hills during the run. You could have quit midway but you didn’t- that says a lot of about survival techniques’.
‘It still wasn’t a good finish, but there are a few lessons from the exercise’, Athena looked at the mound of laundry she was folding, ‘It could have been worse, I mean quitting instead of finishing. I’m still so terribly discouraged and with all the personal crap going on, the motivation to train is minimal’.
It’s been a long season of cycle and tri events for Athena, in total there were 3 sprint triathlons and one century cycle. Two events remain - a Sprint Triathlon and a week later the Whistler MedioFondo. The Medio fondo was Coach Stepahnie suggestion...work on muscular endurance for the climbing. Athena you proved last year that you can sit on a bicycle seat for 7 hours and 52 minutes - no need to prove that accomplishment again
