Congratulations Miramonte Cyclists! We achieved my goals today: 1) no injuries; and 2) everyone finished. In addition, we rode well and collected a lot of data. I know everyone can go home and think of something they could do differently next time. This is not just about the racing action itself, but also about the training, prep, and what to bring to the race, etc. Overall, however, I was amazed at how well we did: Izzy: 2nd 1 lap 1st race Ben: 2nd 4 laps Kurt: 4th 1 laps 1st race Anthony: 4th 2 laps 1st XC race (has raced DH) Adam: 7th 2 laps 1st race Also finishing: Alex Sukys, Justin Ocamb, Amy Powell, Coach, and Ray Sukys Even with these great results, it is important to remember that today was for training and learning. I think we got lots of great training in today, and learned some valuable lessons (I call these 'data'). This week in training (Varsity rider -- Ben -- must do more, see me): Monday: off Tues: 24H Fitness spin at 3:30 PM Wed: off Thurs: 1-2 hours hard riding on or off road (lots of big hills) Fri: off Sat: same as Thurs. Sun: 9 AM at Orinda Safeway for MTB ride
Mon: If interested, I will be driving to Santa Cruz to watch part of the Tour of CA on a steep climb. Let me know, some road riding would be involved. |
