I\u2019ve had the good fortunate to spend several races riding in the company of my friend and local endurance cycling legend (first woman winner of the Iditarod Trail Invitational!), Jill Martindale. Jill is hands-down one of the most positive people to ride with. She cheers for everyone, giggles on the climbs and whoops on the descents. Riding with Jill, you\u2019ll forget that you\u2019re exhausted. You\u2019ll be too busy having a hands-down good time! I\u2019m not necessarily the most bubbly person on the trail. The last few tough rides I have had, I tried to embrace my inner Jill. I tried to laugh, crack some jokes, make a pun or two, and give some sound effects to the descents. Wouldn\u2019t you know, I felt faster and had way more fun! If you\u2019re feeling a little stagnant out there on the trail, tap into your inner adventurer and give yourself or someone around you a cheer out loud. You\u2019d be surprised at the difference it makes in your mindset!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
