Tour of Morocco update stages 6 & 7
Professional athletes are often asked the key to their success and if they have any advice for an aspiring pro. Often times the standard scripted answers are given in response; hard work, dedication, & raw talent. Here is one reason that I don’t often share; The Golden Arches.
As a cat 5 on the verge of going to Le Tour, my #1 fan decided that I needed to lose a few lbs. She came up with the plan that I would have to cut out my McFlurry a day. These would have to be reserved for days when I podiumed. I have abided by our agreement since, only tasting the awesome goodness from McD’s on days when I ran top 3. Here is where the motivation comes into play, stage 6 of a 12 stage tour where I haven’t been able to eat more than toast for five days, my stomach is finally settled down, I am in the winning break, and we pass three sets of Golden Arches during the last 30km. That my friends is motivation.
Here is me doing my best to look as freaky as Ronald McDonald.
Time to go shopping in Tanger.
