OTC Training Week Photos

I found a few pictures of the workouts I did while out in Colo Spgs with the national team. Enjoy.

Swim analysis using SwimMetrics developed by Genadijus Sololovas Ph.D. (shown) Pretty high tech stuff! It is like a powermeter for swimming. His system can measure velocity and force throughout the swim stroke to find inefficencies.

We did a short ride to Garden of the Gods park with Dirk Friel and the crew from TrainingPeaks. It was sunny, warm, but very windy.

We ran/walked The Inline in Manitou Springs. It was the old rail bed for a cog railway. It is 1.02 miles long, but gains 2011 feet in elevation. The average grade is 41% and the maximum grade is 68%! The first photo is at the bottom, the second picture is at the top. (w/Susan Williams Olympic bronze medalist, 2004 Triathlon)

Trade Team Week at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

On April 5-10th I got the chance to return to the OTC for the first time in 6 years to attend the USAT Trade Team Camp. The week was a chance to meet other team members, USAT staff, and hear about our supporting sponsors. It was also a great chance to work with some other top coaches on form and technique. Here are a few photos. More to come. Enjoy.

Race promoter Aki wrote this:

A wowser of a race, it seemed totally strung out the whole day. Many of the "two-racers", i.e. the ones on their second race, not the Cat 2s, came off in clumps as the fresh strong 1s and 2s drilled it from the gun. Target Training, with the overall leader Eneas Freyre, brought out some guns to help control the field.

A group finally made it clear, with all the favorites in it, but with three to go, Freyre ripped the break apart with a vicious attack. Only McGinley, Hurst, and Borgia could follow, and in the end, McGinley won the sprint handily. Freyre took second, wrapping up the overall.

The rest of the finishers straggled in as the remaining groups all disintegrated in the final hectic laps. Christopher Fisher (Priority Health) tok fifth, with Funk following close behind in sixth. Matthew Baldwin took the final point available in seventh.

Freyre wrapped up the overall, and his team Target Training took the team trophy.

Congratulations Eneas

Review of Castelli Insolito Jacket on VELONEWS

The NEW definition of One-Stop-Shopping

There aren't many products that follow up on their claims to the the end-all-to-be-all, but in this case the Castelli Insolito Radiation Jacket is just the ticket (to use another cliche). This garment is more than just high on the cool factor for style, it actually is a modular system that can adapt to whatever mother nature throws at you. Velonews did a detailed review that you can check out here .
