Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...

Tonight, we had a few of the Pirate Race Productions p/b Alpha Facilities Solutions guys turning pedals in anger from TX to NC.  In order to lay out their winter / early spring training plans, we needed to gather information on lactate thresholds.  Though this aspect of fitness can be 'trained' to a higher level, it's important to start where the athlete is at the moment.  From here, we will lay out the training zones (commonly Zone 1-Zone 5, though there are some variations and sub-zones) and plan the athletes' training scheme with accuracy.

We captured a few pics of the madness - out on the front porch where the air was cool but heavy with expectations for 2011...

focused.  the spring will be here soon.

almost done. almost done.

Next up, we'll distribute training plans and get folks moving toward their goals.  If you'd like to join in, drop us a line!  Either way, check back often for the latest on the V. sport squad.
