well bronze in the TT and silver in the RR. Awesome work. Hopefully Adam will do a little report on the race but the results also tell a bit of a story!

Words are not enough to convey the respect Adam has earned with his talent, personality, work ethic and sheer wow factor in his racing style. Each race is on his wheel is a seminar in la course en tete. Merckx himself would have been impressed. I know I am.

That being said, Peter, do you know if his program has built in any rest breaks this summer? He has been plowing through at 100% for what seems like a year. I feel exhausted just thinking about it.

no rest breaks. Adam is on a 4:1 cycle where he builds for 4 weeks and then has an unloading week. We peaked for Nats then took 4 days off and reset for worlds. The toughest part was dealing with uncertainty about being picked for stuff. Other than that, for Western Canada Games for example, there has been zero attempt to taper, rest into the event. The races are all for training so going in fatigued is ok.

Awesome. Only a year ago we were trying to set him up for a result in a VCL 'B' race!
