Well, it was both a successful trip and a less than successful trip to Ronse, Belgium. Most importantly, I achieved my goal of getting a medal at the 2025 world championships. I was thinking I would get that medal in the time trial but ended up getting second in the road race. I took 6th in the time trial placing behind competitors I beat by over 5 minutes just 4 months ago at the World Cup event. In all honesty,...
The subject is true! We will be leaving in less than 2 weeks to the 2005 World Championships in Belgium. Just over 3 weeks until the first race or time trial. I took fifth in the time trial in 2023 and 3rd in the road race. I'm posting better numbers now with power then I was then so fingers crossed I'm hoping for the best! The time trial is going to be just over 7.2 MI. It doesn't seem that long...
Hi, just wanted to post an update here for the month of july. It's July 24th and approximately just over a month until the World Championship time trial and road race in Belgium. I am on an easy week right now with training and definitely putting emphasis on taking it easy. Last week I posted all new best power numbers for 5, 10, 20, and 60 minutes. Whenever I do a ride like that I need to take a few...
Hey there, welcome back for my July post. I wanted to get the post done early rather than risk forgetting about posting towards the end of the month. Plus, it's well north of 100° outside right now and it definitely helps me get more things done in the home as I am avoiding going Outdoors. Here in Arizona we have broken two highs for temperature in the past week. I think it hit 117 twice. Once last week and once...
The prep has begun towards Ronse! The preparation has started towards the 2025 World Championships which are being held in Belgium this year. I'm looking forward to returning to Belgium. Although, I've had some not so great races there, Belgium is where I stamped my with a bronze medal 2023. I had a very successful World Cup in Belgium this year as well. The temperatures typically are not too hot, which favors somebody like myself who does not sweat well because...
The title of this blog post is absolutely correct! I went 4 for4 in the time trials and road races among World Cup1 and 2. I knew my form was good but I had no clue I would win the time trial in Belgium by almost 5 minutes. In 2023 my form was top notch and I was earnings 3rd place medals. Despite not having a couple top H1s present that, are very strong, we had a couple competit0ors that...
Last month I specified that I would be going to huntsville, Alabama to compete in a World Cup qualifying time trial event. A week before the event I produced all time best power for 5, 10, 20, and 30 minute intervals of a 30 minute time trial to match the distance of the event I was going to be doing in Huntsville. Huntsville event should have taken around 30 to 32 minutes for 9 miles. The numbers I posted the...
Hi there, it has been almost a month since my last blog post. I figured I would get it done earl this month as I'll be posting right after the first big race of the year in Huntsville, Alabama at the end of the month. There is a time trial in Huntsville to determine qualification for the two world cup events in May. Basically, if you ride fast enough you go with Team USA and if you do not you...
New The first race of the year has come and gone.... Going into the race I was mainly focused only on the time trial. I almost got hit by a car on the road race course last year so I was not interested in that this year. The criterium is always fun on a closed course downtown with the energy from all the competitors in all categories. Back to the time trial though... I was hoping to meet standard and...
Hello again! It's almost mid January already.. time is flying and the season officially starts in a few weeks with a couple opening races. The big races don't start until April where paracycling will have a qualification race to see who is selected to represent Team USA at the World Cup events in Europe in May. The World Cups this year are going to be in Belgium and italy. There's typically three World Cups but there will not be three...
