Energy Efficient Racing

We start by looking at our "big" training weekends and what we learned. It turns into an interesting discussion about energy expenditure during a race and when to cash in your energy chips. We look at how digging deep teaches you to be a better racer, how to measure and understand your run economy, and how most people spend money (energy) on the bike that they don't have.  Topics: IMTX - The Heat is On Mike and Robbie's big training weekends  Burnt Biscuits for Robbie Mike's "longest" ride since IMCHATT Do we lose strength or aerobic?
