Ladies of Over The Hump!

We had 18 (!!!) client athletes race at last night 😱

With 4/6 elite women being BWC athletes! Coach was very proud to have her 3 athletes drop the hammer on her and see their hard work pay off! āš’ļø

We don’t get the chance to ride together often, so coming together for a Tuesday night race was a big treat!

Dusty, hard, packed with racers - a great way to get a workout in and see our people!

We can’t expect to get to the finish line of any event we line up for without the ability to endure…
•
In a world of ease, comfort, and endless conveniences it’s all to easy to avoid risk, resist change, and chose an easier path.
•
But as Mr Churchill insinuates, great experiences, performances, and results are possible when we eschew comfort, take chances, and develop resilience.
•
No event this season has more overtly demanded its participants ā€œendureā€ than UnBound gravel, a race that featured thunder, lighting, and torrential rain.
•
For his part, said it was the hardest race he has ever done, and we seem to remember some horridly rainy conditions he rode through to win the Ridgecrest XC Classic some years ago.
•
Despite the brutal conditions Kash never lost faith and continued to ā€œfind moreā€ as he battled to the line.
•
He finished in the top ten overall in the elite division and was the highest finisher of his MOG Squad team amidst a field of talented competitors. It’s a result and performance that Kash can be immensely proud of.
•
For our part, we couldn’t be more proud of Kash or impressed by his stalwart commitment to ā€œrace to the finish.ā€
•
Chapeaux Kash, you are an inspiration. That was a hard earned and well deserved result Big Dog!

We have had a blast going all-in again at 6 today ace series!!

With 2 racers in the Pro 1-2-3 races, our work was cut out for us!

After chipping away with consistent results both for the yellow leaders jersey and green points jersey, Brian and Thomas sealed the deal today!

Brian won the Green points jersey and Thomas had a great race finishing 2nd in the sprint - closest sprint he has ever had!

Joy has coached Thomas since his very early years, and it’s exciting to see these two double-down and finish the series in the two jerseys available!

With strength comes depth…
•
And with depth comes the opportunity to use our fitness in all sorts of different ways.
•
So although it’s easy to get obsessed with results and podium photos, never forget that the confident smile that comes with fitness earned is better than any podium photo we’ve ever seen.
•
Athlete Highlight: Strong looks good on you!
•
To say that Laurie has a full plate as a Super-Mom and working professional, while keeping family as a priority would be an understatement.
•
But she always makes the time for fitness!
•
The last few weeks Laurie has been a ā€œjack of all tradesā€ kind of Athlete. She raced a Summer Series race mid week, then raced her first ever Criterium at Round 5 of the criterium Series a few days later. Then one week later she and her teenage son Beric rode to a hard-earned 2nd place finish at the SCNCA Team Time Trial Championships in the ā€œmixed categoryā€.
•
It’s not a conventional kind of calendar, but with solid fitness and a great attitude, it has become a successful one for Laurie.
•
Thank you for reminding us what strong looks like Laurie, you rock!

President Teddy Roosevelt had many great quotes and lived a harrowing life.
•
As a young boy he was sickly and weak, kept inside for fear of becoming ill.
•
But one day, something changed and becoming strong became a focus, and you might say, ā€œthe rest is historyā€.
•
This simple quote, and his illustrious life, reminds us that life punches hard, and thus it’s better to maintain a solid state of ā€œreadinessā€ rather than the ā€œill get ready when I need toā€ mentality.
•
Everyday discipline may be uncomfortable, but it’s not nearly as difficult as trying to climb out of the ā€œfitness basementā€ā€¦
•
Athlete Highlight: knows a thing or two about daily discipline and has managed to keep his fitness rolling after an awesome performance at 24HOP earlier this year.
•
Recently Juan got rowdy on his drop bar rig with his .r.t.racing teammates at the which started with the brutally challenging yet stunningly picturesque VIEJAS Grade climb in east county San Diego.
•
VIEJAS may be a brutal climb, but Juan managed to tame the beast with a smile on his face!
•
Way to go Juan! Thanks for showing us what readiness looks like and keeping it fun too! You rock, Buddy!

Boy, does it feel good to score a big result!
•
But results are not guaranteed in this world.
•
Although success comes to those that work hard, everyone knows the formula for success is a bit more complicated than just putting in hard work…
•
Which is why Mr Robertsons quote makes a powerful point. If we stay focused on the process of developing fitness, honing performance skills, and dialing-in race-day rituals, results will not be in doubt.
•
So this week, let’s take a step back from the ā€œend-goalā€ and instead focus on the investment we can make each day to make what we do more fruitful and fun!
•
Athlete Highlight: Jon Flagg scored himself a big-win at San Diego recently, winning his age group in the Wafer distance.
•
Having faced a myriad of setbacks this offseason that kept him from competition, it would have been easy for Jon to get discouraged and ā€œthrow in the towelā€.
•
Yet, he exhibited great dedication and patience as his ā€œgoal postsā€ kept shifting from winter, to early spring, to late spring…
•
But it was all worth it as Jon won his first race back this season in stellar fashion!
•
Great work Jon!
•
If there was ever an avatar for a silent professional, it would be Mr Flagg! Congratulations on a great result and starting your season (albeit delayed), on a high note!
