Lactic Acid and YOU

Great racing action last night at the Bainbridge Athletic Club CompuTrainer Multi-Rider Center (BACCTMRC - and there is no way I can come up with an acronymic homophone without an additional vowel or two). Stephanie and Chris remained undefeated despite an intrepidly stellar performance by Clo and Bernie on the ten mile, mostly downhill course. All four riders posted some very impressive wattage and power numbers.

We are firmly ensconced in our fall training, the two person team TTs providing some excellent opportunities for:

SPEED ENHANCEMENT

POWER ADAPTATION

LACTATE THRESHOLD STIMULATION*****

SWEET SPOT ENDURANCE

MAJOR INDOOR FUN ON COLD RAINY NIGHTS

We are in the process of updating the CycleVidz.com site to accommodate all racing info and data, meaning that shortly you will be able to access the registration page, the sign-up page, results and all pertinent news at one place. I wish I had more timing accuracy, but for now let's simply say, "soon".

If you have questions, comments or wish to sign up for individual or team CompuTrainer Multi-Rider testing, training or racing, navigate down to the comments tab and leave me a note. Or if this is easier E me @

YO DUDE.

I am reworking a section of the Oceanside 70.3 for the next CT RCV and we hope to start the IM Texas video after that. We have been getting calls of inquiry and as you know we hate to disappoint.
With Thanksgiving and the Apple Cup on the horizon, things are hectic, fast and furious. Just the way we like it.
Thank you for all your comments on the relaxation tips. Yes, one day encompassing them all would be a large slice of Heaven. Let us plan accordingly!

*****Lactic acid formation and removal rates increase as you run, bike or swim faster. To improve your capacity to use lactate as a fuel during exercise, you must increase the lactic acid load very high during training. Training with a lot of lactic acid in your system stimulates your body to produce enzymes that speed the use of lactic acid as a fuel. Thomas Fahey, Ed. D.

Pix: The undefeated champions (Stephanie and Chris) rule the back row as Bernie and Clo strategically counter. Nothing works better for building lactic acid than an uphill TT, this one from the 2008 TOC, Fisherman's Wharf to the Coit Tower in SF. Keep your eyes on the target!
