Tom Doyle wins two gold metals at the VA Senior Games on May 8, 2011 at West Creek Park in Richmond, Virginia.

There were two cycling events, a 5KTime Trial and a 20K Road Race that he won.

Peaks Coaching Group is pleased Hunter Allen is coming to Richmond for

an updated power workshop January 8th and 9th, 2011.

For those of you who haven’t been training with power, it’s time to

get started now! For those of you new and experienced users, it’s time

to come in for a refresher course and learn the latest power training

techniques, strategies and applications used by the worlds’ top

professional cyclist and coaches.

The event will be held by our cosponsor, Dr. Teresa Stadler at

Commonwealth Sports Medical Center, 4101 Cox Road Suite 301,Glen

Allen, VA 23060, 804-270-7750 Innsbrook in Richmond’s West End.

Enrollment is $80 for one-day and $120 for both days. You’ll find all

the details and registration information at bike reg.com or

http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=12037

If you haven’t gotten a copy of Hunter’s latest book, I would highly

recommend you do so. However, you can get a signed copy at the

workshop! In his new and highly rated book, Training and Racing with a

Power Meter, you’ll find great new detail about workouts, workouts

that occur within the workouts and the logic and the science behind it

all. Lots of brand-new material includes two groundbreaking power

concepts.

1) fatigue profiling, which is a way of determining how well you

maintain various power levels over time and how to train to improve

and race to win with this new information and

2) quadrant analysis, which will enable you to see the requirements of

your power in a race effort and then how to simulate those same

required efforts in your training.

In 2010 Hunter has traveling all around the world, teaching and

training with his power concepts. He has personally coached Tour de

France participants in top professional and amateur champions. He will

be sharing the latest in his techniques at this workshop.

Saturday is an all day session that includes a working lunch conducted

by one of Richmond’s top nutritionists. If you provide us your power

files in advance, we will look at them in a case study format using WKO

+ v3 analysis software, helping you (and the class) to better

understand your data, your strength and weaknesses as a rider, what

you can do to improve and how and when to peak in your racing season.

There is no additional charge for this analysis, but please contact me

in advance and have your files uploaded to training peaks or

transferred to a jump drive.

There’s also a special triathlete only workshop session on Sunday the

9th. Hunter recently returned from the Hawaii Ironman triathlon and

will be sharing with you his knowledge on how top triathletes use

power in their training and racing to put in winning performances.

(Hunter and his group personally coach numerous triathletes). Numerous

triathletes who have already enrolled signed up for both days (at a

discounted price)

So sign up now, seating is limited. We are fortunate to have Hunter

available for this important session on power training and racing.

Come out and make 2011 your greatest season ever! Feel free to contact

me with any questions. See you there!

Hunter Allen

We haven’t had rain in consecutive days in months… but with CX season getting into full gear, mother nature was not going to disappoint all the CXers out there.  It rained, rained and rained some more enough to create some very wet conditions.  That didn’t slow Brent down one bit, he slipped and slid his way into 3rd place in his first race of the 2010 season..

Well done Brent… but you might have to prove it is really you.. hard to tell from the photo.
