It's March! That means...

...it's time for March Abness.

The challenge is all yours this time. Think about your core and your posture and set a goal.

For example, last year, we challenged ourselves to hold a front plank for 3 minutes by the end of March Abness. We wanted to get a jump start on strengthening our core to help maintain an aero position on the bike. This is an old photo (position has changed to go lower in the front), but it'll give you a rough idea. Note: the cell phone is not recommended for outside rides!

To practice holding that position for 112 miles, we started with challenging ourselves to hold a plank for 3 minutes. Good stuff.

So, pick a challenge that is appropriate for you and your training buddies...and have at it. Lots of different possibilities with this one and we'd love to hear about your March Abness Challenge in the comments. We're still debating our version - so we'd love to steal a good idea or two!

We're trying to figure out the next version of MMT -- look for more info toward the end of March Abness. In the meantime, we wish you safe training with lots of endorphins.
