Training Holiday Break!

Congratulations to everyone who raced last weekend! Across the continent from to Colorado to Maine! We had some ups and some downs as people struggled to recover from Finals but we got it done! Great job everyone!

While it is awesome to go home, visit family and friends, eat great food, sleep tons and generally be lazy this is a very important time for training. All those things are helpful and fun if you get some training in first! If you want to get all tuned up for the upcoming season you'll need to do some work!
