USA Cycling Development Camp Report (June 17 - June 22)
 

Veni Vidi Vici.

That is all.

You tease.

Just boiling the week down to the essentials ;)

optimus opinio. umquam!

We did a few tests over the week: An ITT, an uphill ITT, and a TTT. The ITT was 11.5k and we did it twice to test repeatability. We'd do 2 loops of a windy 3.6mi course with I'd guess a 100ft hill and a couple of other smaller risers. I scored the best time in the ITT, and my second effort wasn't much slower. The uphill TT was 1k and we did it 3 times, again to test repeatability. I scored the best time in it as well, and my repeatability was also good. For the TTT, we were divided into teams of 5 according to our times in the ITT, so I was put on the fast team and we made short work of all the others.

Lots of paceline and handling work, spent a little time on the T-town velodrome (and I'm thinking I may be hooked), sports psychology, etc. Learned a lot, met some cool people, hopefully made an impression, had a fun time.

vos. es. iuguolo sphenisciformes!

Crushing souls in the TTs. Very nice :)

ego sum non narro "spanish" , ego sum effingo quod preteritus latin reddo.

I perhaps may be getting invited to the national camp at the olympic training center, but I'm not sure yet. I what I could to make an impression, now its out of my hands. I should hopefully get an e-mail sometime this week.

an email you say?

this is cycling. people with talent normally are incapable of reading, let alone reading and replying to email. :D

now do us all a favor and drink a lot of these :beer: before august 18th. ;)

Spanish?

I'm going to have to smack you around some, KP. You spoke Latin. Guess what Botto replied in?

excellent. hands down, the best report ever.

congrats on how well ya did. hopefully you'll get called up

You are probably the most annoying person on these forums.

That means so much, coming from a nobody like you. :rolleyes:

incorrect

Where are your race reports?

KP, did I see you today at owasco? there were tons of windham folk, I saw a particularly lanky one pull out of the pack with what I thought was a flat. If that was you, that sucks, it was a really fun race.

You the man KP. Here's hoping you get noticed and shuffled into a real development program.

Will you take the shot if you get it?

Mark

Now dear Yates, did you not take note of botto's cordial utilization of emoticons?

Yes, that was me. On the upside, there was a great view of the lake from where I flatted. On the downside, I spent about 20 minutes waiting for the SAG wagon.

Where were you in the pack?

Sure will!
