Practice participation The number of people coming out to practice has been getting very small lately. I know that some people are away but I also know that their are people that are avoiding practice. Avoiding practice has many problems that do not help your development. 1. You are not getting fitter and therefore not progressing towards mastery, progression and improvement are some of the most powerful motivators 2. You are not developing social connections with the training group and your coach, social connections are the next most powerful motivators. With out these motivators you will start to question why you are doing this and you will suffer from a lack of purpose. How to protect your self from this is to get your self to practice. Your coaches are committed to your development but we can have little impact if you are not there. Time Trial On August 25th we will be hosting the next regional time trial.
