Sprint Tournament 5/14

Posted May 15, 2014

Nine brave souls rolled onto the track to start the sprint competition last night despite beautiful Vancouver weather. Given the flying 200 times and the number of starters the group was split into two. While the time spread between the first group of three riders was only about .6 seconds the disparity between the times in the second group prompted a gear restriction to help level the playing field.

In the first round Aaron Greenberg managed to oust Jason “Hot & Ready” Reddy with a great razor into the finish. As some of you may know Aaron was voted Most Improved rider last season and his performances on the track continue to prove why. Another standout performance came from Dave Henderson. Two years ago Dave started at one of our Open Houses and last night he went undefeated in his group. Great job Dave!

With the smaller group we decided to mix things up a bit by throwing in a Team Sprint at the end of the night. It was a great learning experience for all and a welcome addition to the evening’s sprint program.

Our monthly race series continues in June with Time Trials on Wednesday June 11th. As always it’ll be a great opportunity to set benchmarks for training and, for those riders going to compete in Victoria’s Trackfest, it’ll also be a good opportunity to dust off the aerobars and get ready to compete in the sun. While the events may sound daunting to those disinterested in racing, the time trials and sprint tournaments are really workouts by any other account. And, aside from the energy systems you train they also present a unique opportunity to train tactics and track awareness, areas often neglected in other workouts. Hope to see you in June.
