July 30th, 2009Summer Fun at CCT
It has been a busy summer here at CCT. Athletes have been traveling all over the east coast and out west for races and events this summer. A number of us competed at the 2009 Masters National Championship in Louisville, KY in July. The event was well attended - though there were some hiccups in execution by USA cycling. These things happen and hopefully next year it will go off smoother. USA cycling announced last week that the event was returning to Louisville, KY again in 2010 - so book your travel now!As the season progresses, many athletes are looking at the calendar and realizing there are not many races left - and for some they are ready to take a break from the travel and intensity of racing. The fall is an excellent time to take a break from structured training for a while, do some more group rides and even some cross training and mountain biking or cross. It's important to keep an eye on the diet and make sure not to take too much time away from the bike, because you certainly don't want to spend months getting back in shape - ideally you want to continue to carry over and increased level of fitness going into 2010.
The fall is also a good time to make equipment and position changes. Several CCT athletes have already booked time at the wind tunnel and this is a great time to tune up your TT position, check out new equipment and make bike changes.
Cheers and I hope everyone is enjoying the summer while it lasts!
