It sounds cliché, but cumulative training matters so much more than we realize in all areas of our lives.  What we often forget is that training is not just for our bodies to perform, but also for our minds and careers to succeed.  This concept was really brought back into my mind this past weekend while competing in the 24 hours of adrenalin mountain bike race and the Inman Connect the following week.

It is really interesting how rarely I take a step back to think about the decisions we make and understand what it says about my personality.  The other day while sitting a the cross road to begin my ride I was reminded how often I choose to take the route that provides the most challenge.
