Making Videos

It's tough. It's a lot of extra work to film and edit stuff while you're trying to carry on with the usual training load. I think that's why you don't see endurance athletes do it very often. Action sports stars have film crews paid by Redbull or Nixon or whatever company that can follow them around 24/7 and edit film while the athletes sleep. Since there isn't currently a strong video culture in triathlon, despite some serious steps forward by Specialized (Day in the life), Cervelo (Beyond the Peloton), if athletes want to have any video insights into their training and lifestyle, they have to do it themselves. I think it's the way triathlon is going to go, especially if we want to bring athletes in at younger ages.

Zone: HAM

The workout: 5x4min paceline as fast as possible. This typically ends up being much more difficult than the same workout solo because it's so punchy and the level of effort is so high while riding on the front and even higher when jumping back into the line. That's why we call it Zone HAM. It's a 6 on a scale of 1-5. This workout prepares us for the fast-paced riding in draft legal racing. Watch for Jason at Cozumel World Cup this weekend, Joe at Tongyeong World Cup the following week, and all three of us at the Fearless F1 in San Diego on Oct. 26.
