Through our fabulous team physio Dave Tupper, Duncan and I meet with marketing director Jeremy Duerksen of training peaks over thanksgiving break - and now we have a wicked set up with the best online training log.
We will use the training peaks to suggest basic training plans to everyone on the team, or more specialized training if you are interest. It is very easy and we are very excited about this. We will start this at christmas time.
**This is help you track your training as well as help the team leaders at training camp in march decide if the longer or shorter ride of the day is best for your training**

The new for 2010 cycling class will be run by Malcolm Dunn and myself. It will go over many things. It will be chill but legit. There will by 12-15 spots. Prereqs....a road bike and enthusiasm! We will have two class events per week. One will make use of the class' scheduled time for lecture and guest speaker. The other meeting time will be used for occasional class rides but also gives you the freedom to complete your workouts on your own time.
We will use Dave Tupper's computrainer to do power tests at the beginning of the class, as well as later throughout the year! This will show your improvements!

We will talk about: Recovery, Difference between training and exercise, improving efficiency (bike+rider=one unit), zones, periodized training, race strategy, pack riding skills, bike mechanic skills. I think this is so cool! I hope you do to! We can use training peaks for this too!

Clothing order - those who are abroad or haven't paid team dues - email Molly Blust (blustme@whitman.edu) and tell her if you plan on racing full time (due paying) and receive discounts on clothing order.

There is a new race added to the calender - march 13-14th in Boise, Idaho. So know there are six collegiate races we are attending.
What does this mean? If you have a hella hard semester coming up and can't go to three races but want the team sponsorship - well you can come to the first three races of the year that are all during spring break!
We will be coming back to Walla Walla the following week for a training camp, then traveling to Eugene for the 2nd race weekend in Eugene (another training camp in Eugene) then up to Bellingham before coming back to school.

Finish off the semester strong and on December 11th we will have a small team meeting
