If I were at home I would be enjoying the warm sunny Florida summer by relaxing on the beach....
I would go everywhere in a bathing suit and flip-flops....
Cold would be something that only existed in my imagination...
But I'm not at home. I am in Dunedin, New Zealand during their winter. I am training harder, at a higher volume, at a higher level than ever before in my entire life. I am being broken down to my very core on a nearly daily basis. I am pushing myself farther than I ever thought I could. I have a new appreciation for warmth, even when it comes in the erg room.
I ride my bike through the cold and driving sleet to be beaten down by the Kiwis, on land and on the water, and I am loving it.
That is awesome, Alex.... Proud of you.
