and those cares of tomorrow

...must wait until this day is done

Came across the above quote from a line from an old Irish Pub song in a documentary about Irish Pubs (oh the things we watch during COVID-19!) So read it again, singing with your best Irish accent :)  But it is such a great message, always relevant, about staying present, taking care of what is in front of you, and tackle next things next.

Up next is finishing the academic semester strong, and finishing the last two weeks of our "season".  Keep your easy days light, rest and sleep well, and let your mileage drop as your schedule calls for.

All things considered, #TIMETRIALSZN has gone very well!  We are very proud coaches, inspired and motivated by the work you are doing.  The time trials and the workouts have been awesome, every effort is important, and fast times are just a bonus.  We're excited to hear the results over the next two weeks!
