Balance of support and challenge

I’ve been working with Nicole for a couple years now through Canyons and now enroute to CCC in August. Nicole has helped me through self driven training camps and a 3 day race at Mammoth Trailfest and Dipsea. Nicole holds a very fine line with me that I have come to appreciate. She doesn’t allow me to get down on myself (when times are tough in training and life) yet also holds the expectation, when appropriate, that I can do more and can push a little more here and there. It’s so delicate and yet she nails it and I more than appreciate it. I hope she gets to read this. Onward to CCC this summer! I’m building well, recovering well, and feeling some confidence already and am a long way out.
