We all long for those bygone, carefree, golden days of fall training and racing but that’s just not happening this year.
So buckle up buttercup, show 2020 you got game and put 2021 on notice that PR stands for Persistent Rockstar.
Here’s a ludicrous list of training tips and silly slogans to keep you laughing throughout autumn.
Try wearing your swim snorkel with a scrap of furnace filter duct-taped over the top both in the pool and locker room for a little extra protection.
Think outside the box with your next bicycle purchase. Instead of going time-trial bike think about getting a penny-farthing, also known as a high wheeler for some vertical social distancing.
Three words: paddle board polo, also known as Lacrosse with a water hazard.
Try a Yeti costume for your trail runs. It gives you the chance to be distant and legendary.
Consider moving to a COVID-free area. I hear the moon is lovely this time of year.
Get in your training on rainy days by setting an obstacle course in your garage. If you are like me, you may already have one in place.
Pick running routes that will allow you to maintain distance. For example, dress as a ghost and run through an abandoned amusement park, bring Scooby snacks and watch out for meddling kids.
Two words: Zoom aerobics.
Before you start clearing the leaves off your lawn, try adding ankle weights to the rake.
