As winter closes in, and as it gets harder to find the motivation to cycle to work each morning, I’m reminded of a piece of advice a friend gave me on a kayaking trip in New Zealand.
“It’s best to start an adventure a little cold. Once you get moving, you’ll be comfortable in no time. But, whatever you do, don’t start toasty, as you’ll overheat before you really get going.”
There are a few lessons in here.
Cold starts are uncomfortable, but maybe we’re just getting used to something new.
And, better a cold start than a burnout.
