So I think I’ve mentioned that I’m going to focus more on my speed this winter. I felt like my 5k speed left much to be desired during the TCM build up. I want to clarify that statement. I’m focusing on speed, while also trying to put in as much base mileage as I can….
It’s so cold and miserable out!
