In challenging bike rides or training, I would often tell myself, \u201cI am not sure if I am capable.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I\u00a0 have gained so much confidence and fitness during our training.\u00a0 Now, I just do it and don\u2019t think twice about it.\u00a0 Your encouraging words stuck to me like glue in our practice sessions along with the trainer rides during my clavicle recovery. You kept me motivated even when I didn\u2019t want to get on the trainer. You prepared some great \u201cmeat and potato\u201d workouts. \u00a0During recovery, never did I get down on my situation and kept a good attitude. You kept telling me that I would be surprised at my fitness when I could ride on the open road again.\u00a0 I was anxious to see if you were right, and indeed you were correct, \u00a0I am back on the bike and I am stronger than ever.\u00a0 Pretty amazing how effective those trainer workouts are!<\/p>\n<p>As I have expressed to you, I have struggled with balancing being a mom, wife, friend and bike racer.\u00a0 I know that I will never be a professional bike racer but glad that I have the opportunity to be competitive.<\/p>\n<p>I think you are just fantastic and I couldn\u2019t ask for a better coach.\u00a0 All of the weekly training session, talks on the phone and the emails were invaluable.\u00a0 You have always been available and always there to encourage me.\u00a0 You have given me the confidence on a personal level\u00a0and as a bike racer to overcome\u00a0 issues and succeed. One of my most favorite things that you ever said to me was \u201cRex, you need to take your mom hat off in races, and\u00a0 take control \u2013 act vs react.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 This not only applies to bike racing but in life lessons&#8230;Julie, your simply the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below &#8211; Rexanne Hughes, Rio Strada Cycling team member, offers reflections on summer training plan and workouts&#8230; Hi Julie- I have thoroughly enjoyed training with you.\u00a0 You have been so completely professional, encouraging, motivating, inspirational and insightful.\u00a0 Before I started training with you, I was a bit doubtful of my abilities to race and train [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2289,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[30],"class_list":["post-1823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-athletes-blog","tag-rexanne-hughe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1823\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
