Randonnée is the thrill of skiing with the physical challenge of climbing. Unlike traditional skiing, Randonnée skiing involves using specialized equipment to climb up mountains before skiing back down. Cody's Challenge is a Randonnée race in Steamboat every year during Springalicious. It is the toughest of all race types and will become an Olympic sport in 2026. https://lnkd.in/eMxyyV2G

Ever had a plan that didn’t go exactly as expected? This week, after hurting my back playing tennis, I found myself at a crossroads: ➜Should I sit out or push through? On Saturday, I decided to test the waters with a 1.5-mile run. ➜Despite the pain, I managed to show up for the 6th USATF-NE race in the series, determined to hold onto my 4th place standing in the highly competitive 45-49 age group. What did I learn? 1️⃣ It’s not always about pushing yourself to the limit. Sometimes, it’s about pacing yourself, knowing when to step back, and finding value in supporting others along the way. 2️⃣ Even though I wasn’t at my best, I knew it was important to show up for my team. There’s something powerful about being there, contributing in any way you can, and reinforcing that sense of community and commitment. What did I do? ➜ Instead of racing hard, I chose to enjoy the roads with friends and teammates. It wasn’t just about the competition this time; it was about being part of the team and the experience. In our professional lives, we often focus on the next goal or milestone. But sometimes, the most meaningful progress comes when we step back, show up for the team, embrace the journey, and lift others up.
