Post-Race Homework

The last article we focused on what pre-race “homework” you can do to best prepare for your races. Successful bike racers try to find any type of advantage, however small it may be, to get a competitive advantage over their adversaries. That’s what makes bike racing so unique, in that you don’t necessarily have to be the fittest athlete in the peloton, but a combination of fitness and smarts will put you in position to win time and time again. In this article, the race is over and we will address the types of things you can do after the race to help you and your team get that competitive advantage for future events.

Another Good Weekend for AthletiCamps!

This weekend at the University Road Race in Santa Cruz, Susan Lannoo (AthletiCamps) won the Women's Elite 4 race. Congratulations to Susan on an impressive effort. Ron Fritzke (Synergy-Taleo) finished 2nd in his race (Masters 35+ 4/5), which gives him the points needed to upgrade to Elite 3's. This is Ron's first year bike racing and his improvement has been nothing short of spectacular. Congratulations to all our athletes, as their hard work and dedication show every week!

Roemer Owns the Pursuit and Esparto

A big congratulations to Craig Roemer (Team Specialized Racing) for his success this past weekend. Craig won the Northern Cal Master 40-44 district pursuit, while also qualifying for Elite National Track Championships.

He then followed that up the next day with a win at the Esparto ITT, the second event in the California Cup year-end series.

Continued success the rest of the season!

Pre-race Homework

Races are won on many different levels. It’s not just the winning move or the perfect team tactics on the last lap that contribute to a win. It’s the preparation at all levels, ranging from proper nutrition to an effective training plan, that win races. In this article we will specifically address pre-race tactical preparation. We ask our contributing top Masters racers, Dan Martin (VOS Racing) and Kevin Metcalfe (Team Specialized Racing) how they prepare and execute prior to a race to give them the best opportunity for a successful result.
