Leaning forward

One of the principles that has stuck with me for a long time is one from a cross-country coach I had. The ability to succeed in cross-country in Southwestern Virginia relied greatly on how well you planned for and dealt with the hills. Races are won and lost on the hills. He taught us to lean forward and aggressively attack the uphill and don't coast and relax on the downhill, take long strides.

This next week is the last push up the hill. 

Lean forward and don't forget to take long strides on the downhill.
