Slow Down, To Go Faster!

I love cycling. My road bike, a couple of good friends and a long country windy road and I am in heaven. A few years back I was reading a book on cycling endurance and performance and a key phrase that was used over and over hit me like a 20mph head wind. "Go Slower to Get Faster" This is absurd I thought. One day I gave in and I began a new training routine. I went slower to go faster and oddly enough IT WORKED! I was able to find truth in that phrase. By spending time and going slower I was able to focus on my thoughts, ideas and movements. I could make improvements and be precise. I have also found this phrase to be true off of the road bike. Give it a try! You may be amazed at the magic that you see!
