Training Tip from Erika Kemp |
|
|
|
"I feel like it'll be most people's first or second race of the summer, so I'd say enjoy it and use it as a fun and challenging opportunity to see where you're at! I think it'll be a good way to test the racing waters and see where you're at fitness-wise ahead of a nice summer/fall season!"
—Erika Kemp, member of the B.A.A. High Performance Team and 2-time National Champion
