Kevin's Blog

kevin_mastersEvery now and then, when I'm not busy working with athletes or taking care of business, I find time to write an article or two about things that are motivating, inspiring, and educating.

I hope you enjoy my blog -- feel free to drop me a note if you have something you'd like me to cover in an upcoming article!

A Little Rain

Saturday, Day 6, and 5th day of big riding. Our plan was to hit Randa which meant a fairly straight forward ride to get there and then a nice gradual switchback of 6 km up to a fortress. Big stone walls surrounding buildings inside.  Early into our ride we leanred that even in Spain things are not perfect although still darn close. We got stuck in some hard rain in Sineu for about 10 to 15 minutes. The thing is here, versus at home is that the temperatures are so comfortable that outside of some soggy feet it is still quite comfortable to keep riding. The only hitch here in Spain in the rain is on climbs or up in the mountains where the roads get icy slick with moisture. If this happens then plans must be evaluated and possibly altered just for safety. Fortunately today the rain stopped in time for the Randa acsent to be safe so everyone was able to add another epic climb to their log books.

Sunday was a transition / and therefore rest day. The one week campers go home and the second week campers arrive. This always makes for a good excuse for an adventure outside the resort, and a break from buffets.

Testimonials

"I've had an entirely full season of bike racing. There hasn't been one race I have not been prepared for physically. The specificity of training has kept me in form for every race situation and discipline: road, criterium, and time trial."

APTS has prepaired me enough to move up an entire category within 3 months, and you know what? No injuries! I've definitely made a smart choice."
