Pan am trials training update
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2012 4:12 pm
Four crazy juniors this am for intervals at 6 am at 1 degree C. Kudos to Evan, Duncan, Brenna and Alex.
And some pretty classy senior riders are stepping up to help out our juniors with their peaking program for the pan am trials Jan 27. Ex-Red Truck rider Bryson Bowers came out Saturday (on his P3 with a power meter) in the rain (no fenders on that thing either) and gently reminded Evan that 1000 watts might be a bit too fast to start a 2000 meter interval.
Former top junior in Ontario, now UVic student, and recent TS recruit Luke Koolman came out Monday and played the same role.
And today Red Truck's Tyler Trace (prov champ in CX and crit I think) rode over from where he lives near Spectrum school, and before his full time job, to train with Evan. Good quote from Evan: "Tyler is really nice, and my god is he strong. Like he was barely working while keeping up with me."
Thanks also to Josh who's trying to fit in a session to help too.
It takes a village...
