2012 Mineral Wells Stage Race

This weekend was my season opening cycling race…a full stage race (Criterium / Time Trial on Saturday & Road Race on Sunday) in Mineral Wells, Texas. I was so excited to get the 2012 season kicked off, and fired up to race with Team Undiscovered!  It was no doubt a weekend of firsts for me. First race as a Cat4. First Stage Race. First Time Trial. First time racing in the insane, pouring down rain!

Saturday – Criterium (Crit) & Time Trial

Saturday was just horrible weather. It started raining late Friday afternoon, and literally did not stop raining until Saturday night. And it rained hard! My day started off at 11:00am, and it was raining hard, and in the mid 40′s. A Crit is a very tight course, and lots of turns…so with pouring down rain, and bike racing going on with lots of fast turns, it can be a bit dangerous. Prayerfully I did not crash, and finished safe. I was not thrilled with my results; I finished 12th but again, I was safe and I consider that a win. (Training Peaks Data)

The Time Trial was just flat out painful. Not much other way for me to put it…the weather was worse, super hard rain, stronger winds and colder. I have never time trialed before and this course was very hilly. The winds were right in our face, and oh my…that just made me want to go back to the hotel and call it a day. Honestly I was mentally shot, and really did not care much at this point. My time came, 2:13pm …they shot me off and I just rode with 1 thing in mind…finish and get to the hotel. Looking back now, I really wish I would of overcome the mental aspect of this…it could of helped my overall GC ranking for sure. I finished in 24:29, a sub par time for sure, but for being my first – and the conditions I guess I will take it. :) (Training Peaks Data)

Saturday wrapped up and all in all I was happy with the results. I thought I could of done better, but that is ALWAYS the case.

Sunday – Road Race

Sunday the weather turned out great. It was a little chilly (low 40′s) but minimal wind. Our race headed out at 8:00am sharp, and we were flying. The course was fairly flat and fast, with 1 nasty long hill. I really liked this road coarse, the roads were great and the was well supported. I felt really good during this race, our team raced really smart together and we put ourselves in a great spot nearing the end. The group closed in nearing the final push to the finish and our team broke up a bit, and I shot out in the best position for the sprint. I got behind a few slower riders and ended up having to sprint nearly 300m to reposition and gain some ground and finished 7th.  Knowing I am not a strong sprinter right now, I was thrilled with these results.

Summary

Mineral Wells Stage Race was a fantastic experience for me personally…and I know it was an awesome kick off to the season for our Cat4 team. Our 4′s ended up winning 3rd overall, and I finished 10th in the GC. Again, I will take it all things considered. :)

Cycling Training – Base 1 Week 1

Last week was my first week of cycling training. This is the first year I have actually “trained”, and have a plan. Thanks to Training Peaks Virtual Coach – I have a plan that leads me right up into the season, and then the Training Peaks Annual Plan kicks in and takes me through the season. My personality type of an ENTJ really appreciates the schedule and planning…it pushes me to “Just Do It” when the weather is bad, or when I don’t want to get out of bed.

Many of my friends want to know what my plan is…so every Sunday/Monday I will post the previous weeks plan, so feel free to use any that you want. My Virtual Coach is set for the key areas I am trying to develop…just keep that in mind.

- – Monday – -

Monday this week was a real easy ride outside. The weather was not great…29 degrees with a 17mph wind out of the north! I did not have good gloves, so I did not make my full planned duration, but I gave it an ole college try. I must get in the grove, and not let weather get in my way. I am working towards that.

Monday Training

- – Tuesday – -

Tuesday was my first dive into the “MS”  Maximum Strength workouts as you can see in the plan. You can learn more about MS worksouts from Joe Friel here: http://goo.gl/9wnvx My plan was 10 min on the trainer, then I followed these 5 workouts in this YouTube video - http://youtu.be/RqwHUuskPoY After hitting these 5 core workouts hard for ~35/40 min, then I do 15 min back on the trainer for light spinning. After the trainer I do 100 crunches.

Tuesday Training

- – Wednesday – -

Wednesday looked really easy, but honestly it kicked by butt…peddling drills. You can read the description in the pic, and wow I needed this, and need it a lot more. I am a horrible peddler and not efficient at all. I need to get much better in this area, and only way to do that is more of this drill.

Wednesday Training

- – Thursday – -

Thursday was the same as Tuesday…just copy and paste here in a few. But wow, my butt and legs were burning after this. I am totally not used to this type of workout multiple times a week. Today was Maximum Strength workouts as you can see in the plan. You can learn more about MS worksouts from Joe Friel here: http://goo.gl/9wnvx My plan was 10 min on the trainer, then I followed these 5 workouts in this YouTube video - http://youtu.be/RqwHUuskPoY After hitting these 5 core workouts hard for ~35/40 min, then I do 15 min back on the trainer for light spinning. After the trainer I do 100 crunches.

Thursday Training

- – Friday – -

Well, I don’t really have weights so I am skipping that part right now. So, I hit the indoor trainer for 1:06 of smooth riding. After the ride I did 100 crunches.

Friday Training

- – Saturday – -

Saturday I was planning on making my Team Undiscovered group ride…but could not make it due to a ballet recital for Reese (gotta keep the priorities in check!). So, instead of a 3 hour group ride, I followed the training plan and did a simple zone 1-2 1:06.

Saturday Training

- – Sunday – -

Sunday was a great Schlegel group ride! It was cold and wind out of the south…so we headed into the wind to start. Typically on these types of rides I try and stay up front, and work more than just sitting in. Today was no different, and I was feeling it. It was a great ride and was NOT a zone 1-2 ride…it was much more than that. Let’s say that this made up for not having weights at home. :)

Sunday Training

So there ya go, that was week 1 of my base training. It is a new experience for me to have 7 day workouts, and such a structured plan…but it really helped me stay on track this week. I have a day trip next week, so already planning accordingly for being out of town.

How about you…what did your week look like?

2011 – My First Year Racing [recap]

Well, the 2011 cycling season is over…and wow, it was awesome, but a lot different than I had originally imagined. I wanted to take a quick moment and “remember” the season so I can document some great cycling progress. Personally for me, I am so about forward progress I hardly ever look back…and that can sometimes be a bad thing.

To get started I should by saying that “racing” was never the goal. Simply put, the goal of the 2011 season was to have my first century ride at the Hotter’N Hell Tour in Wichita Falls, Tx. 2011 was my 3rd season on the bike (2nd yr), and I was really looking forward to progressing towards being a solid recreational rider.

The 2011 season opened in April with the Red Bud Classic…a great 50 mile event [Garmin details] that set the season off on the right peddle. April, May and June included 4 good events that lead me into a strong summer. By late June I was really feeling strong, down around 10lbs and was talked into my first “race” at the Jenks Criterium (Crit) [details]. The race environment was amazing…and really freaking HARD! I finished 10th, and being honest it was all I needed to be hooked on racing.

July was a huge confidence booster for me with another Crit race where I placed 4th, and two really strong events…the Norman Conquest, and the Duncan Dehydrator. At the Conquest I was able to hang with the lead out racers group for 66 miles and end with a nearly 23mph avg in some serious hills [details]. The Dehydrator is an actual “race”, but not an official USACycling, and I finished 3rd in my group, just behind 2 outstanding local riders, Jeremy Miller and Paul Bonds [details].

August was ridiculous HOT, just like June and July! Seriously…100+ days, day after day, after day! Let’s call August 2011 the month of the Century. My goal starting the season was the HHH Century…but by now my goal had shifted, and was focused around becoming a better racer. My first Century started with the Spin Your Wheels 100. With a crazy turn of events, I was able to rock the SYWs 100 in 4hrs, 24min [details]. Not to shabby for my first 100 miles. :) Then, 2 weeks later in Wichita Falls, the HHH 100 was even faster, with a 4hr, 18min time…finished with a standing sprint finish and coming in 4th with the lead out group [details].

August and September were all about category 5 racing, so I joined the BEST local racing team – Team Undiscovered! Coming into the Oklahoma State Road Racing Championship (Sept 24th) I had completed 7 races, and had learned a lot. After a solid effort, and minimal rookie mistakes, I had a solid podium finish[pic] at the Championship and placed 5th as a category 5. Immediately following the Championship I requested an upgrade to Cat4…and it was approved! Woot.

I started the season as a solid recreational rider with a goal of doing well in a Century…and ended the season as a Cat4 racer!

Where do I go from here? Well…it’s training time now. Off season has started, and its time to get stronger, and better on the bike. I have so much to learn, and really look forward to going into the 2012 season stronger, lighter, faster and much better on the bike. I am sure they will change as the off season progresses…but right now my goals are: keep learning, support my team well, get much stronger to be a better sprinter, and WIN a Cat4 race! Yea, I don’t think that is asking to much.

The Owasso Criterium Race & Family Getaway to Tulsa

This weekend we took at trip to Tulsa as a family…primarily for one of my bike races, but Robin and I wanted to turn it into a little weekend getaway for the family as well. Since cycling is a big part of my life now, I really want the girls and Robin to be a part of it…and enjoy it as well. So, Saturday morning we dropped Ellie dog off at the doggie motel, and we drove 90 miles over to Tulsa.

When we got to Tulsa, we first went to the Tulsa Garden Center, and the Linnaeus Teaching Gardens. Robin read about this in one of her thousands of Southern Living Mags, and was fired up to take the girls to see it.

Next, we were off to lunch and very much in Storch Family tradition we were all about trying something new and healthy. We landed at The Local Table and it was fantastic! That evening we went to the outstanding LifeChurch.tv South Tulsa campus, had a wonderful time worshiping and catching the final installment of the Bold message series where pastor Craig again knocked it out of the park. After church we grabbed a great Italian dinner (not Furr’s) then off to the hotel…and yes, the kiddos absolutely love staying at hotels.

Race Day!

Sunday morning we woke up and it was race day. Our hotel was just a mile or so from Downtown Owasso where the race was hosted.  I was jacked up, and ready…and was crazy excited the family was with me. After my Shakeology we headed downtown for the race. I was racing in the Category 5 race along with 48 other riders…the largest group I have every raced with. From past races I learned many different things…but one of the most important was to jump out in the top 7 or so racers from the beginning and keep in the lead group. I feel like I was strong, made a few errors and ended up just off the podium with a 4th place finish. A few things learned from this race: power through turns, fight harder through the pain in last lap, be more agressive. After the Cat 5 race, we hug out and watched the Cat 4 race where  my Team Undiscovered teammate Craig Staley placed top 10!

The trip to Tulsa was a blast…and the family had a great time as well. Traveling together is always something we enjoy and I look forward to many more race trips in the future. For those of you who know me, everything is about the “experience”. And this was a great experience.

My first Century Ride (100 miles)

Today…August 13, 2011 marks my first Century Ride (100 miles). Crazy part of it all – this was not planned, I was only suppose to ride 85 miles in the annual Spin Your Wheels event today, building up to the Hotter than Hell 100 in a few weeks. Well, as I Tweeted earlier, opportunities knocks and I took advantage or it.

It was a beautiful day, cooler weather, overcast, and best of all a super fast lead out group that I was able to sit in with. The ride was an out and back, so when we got to the 85 mile turn around I had a decision to make and it was simple – keep going! I was still with the lead group, I was feeling strong and we were averaging over 26mph at this point. Fun times. I was able to hang with the lead group for 57 miles before I dropped, then I worked the rest of my way in solo.

Today was awesome…very hard, but awesome! My feet are in crazy pain, but other than that I feel really good. Thanks to Brian Russell who has been training with me weekly, Tony Steward who is also training with me and really pushing me to get better…and the DNARacing Team and Team Undiscovered, you guys are amazing and are really stretching me in these events & races.

Push it to the Max…well, maybe not!

As many of you know I have really gotten into cycling over the past year. I have been training, reading and learning so much in the process…and I am loving it! The other day I was reading on of my favorite cycling blogs about “Are your tires over inflated”, and this statement really made me stop and think:

The manufacturer always prints the max psi on the sidewall of the tire. This is not a recommended pressure it is the maximum.

I don’t know about you, but typically I replace “maximum” for recommended! This is a great life lesson I am learning as well…maximum vs. recommended. Often times I am capable of pushing harder, further, longer or harder for “maximum” output – but is that really recommended? I do not think it is!

1 So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. 2 On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation. - Genesis 2:1-3

I am having to unlearn some really bad habits…and one of them is the tendency to replace recommended with maximum.

USACycling first updated their website…now they made a huge update to their iPhone app! Love that I can see upcoming events, register and see race results. Great job USACycling!

I continually struggle with lower back pain, and strong efforts on the bike don’t help! Was reading Victor Jimenez  Twitter stream and found this. 

Looks like they have some great stretching videos on YouTube.

Link: Norman Conquest 2011 results

66.12miles, 2hr 55min, 22.7 avg speed/41 max, 3031ft climb. 

This was by far my best event yet. Was able to hang onto the lead out group thanks to the Team Undiscovered, and DNA Racing guys letting me enjoy their wheels. 8 guys broke away with 20 miles to go that we did not catch…but our chase group was strong, and finished well. My legs have NEVER burned like this!

Fun times!
