We put the T in TTT.

A squad of totally radical Peak Fitness athletes will be flexing their quads for the public's enjoyment for about an hour this coming Sunday in Pattison Texas. This event, also known as the Texas State Team Time Trial Championship (TSTTTC) will attract teams from all over the world (of Texas). Peak Fitness has been helping some of these racers reach their goals through performance testing, training plans, and team practice sessions. Read on to see just how we help our athletes train right.

This was my second week of helping coach the team's technique and things were running very smoothly. Morris is the lead man, helping get the group up to speed.


We've been putting most of our focus on developing high-speed pacelining skills. This included tweaking pull times, practicing steady accelerations, and getting a comfortable rotation.


The ever important element of communication is an oft-forgotten skill in cycling. Maurice spent a little time teaching us sign language. I'm not totally sure what this one meant, but I think it had something to do with the letter "W."


Next, Maurice instructed us in the art of "body language." This pose means "I GUESS we could watch the Tour Recap, but I'd be missing Oprah." It can also mean "Hmmph, how am I EVER going to get these Chianti stains out of this throw pillow?!?"


This was very helpful information. It made the suffering of a TTT that much more tolerable. These guys were flying.


We took a break from practicing to refuel in Leon Springs. Proper nutrition is key. Luckily, our athletes have been benefiting from the nutritional assessment services of Peak Fitness. They are all on specific diets that have been tailored to their unique metabolic needs. Morris, for example, after being assessed, has been to determined to reap the most performance advantage from eating packaged green things that he has stolen.


Maurice, on the other hand, turned out to function best on "Mrs Baird's Sweet Side of Texas Product line" comprised of honey buns and small pies.


Ray, however, is best on a liquid diet rich in Hickory.


With our energy levels replenished, we headed out for some more cruising. See you in Pattison!
