We set off the group in stages with Phil and I going last. Phil Wilson and I have been riding well all week (he is going to have a smasher in Kona this year) and we a re ready to pull the trigger on the last ride. Last ride of the camp and its a smasher up Tabayesco. Uncomfortable……not when you have good kit (I use Raceskin kit which is super comfy on the trainer and long rides). Boring you might think….think structure and specificity instead. I have only worked indoors using the Computrainer and some indoor bike work at the gym. I have not ridden a bike outdoors pre Lanza since IM Wales in September 2015! let me say that a different way just in case you missed it….going out with the local chaps to ride has not happended and it hasn’t been because of the weather. I thought about this and decided that I would opt to not ride outdoors all winter and see what happens.

Lionel Sanders, Andy Potts, Pete Jacobs to name a few. I am looking for an advantage and noticed some of the best triathletes and bikers in the sport ride indoors only. Let me tell you a process goal I had over the winter first. So what happended that made for this Eureka moment……. I think at one point my lungs were going to burst. I can say I got tested on the run sections having some great sessions with Phil and Dan. I came in having set a 10k PB and my swimming is solid. I won’t bore you with all the gory details of the sessions but I am uber happy with my fitness at this time of year. When a recovery ride is scheduled then riding in a group ensures everyone gets to go at a steady pace with option of dropping into the back for extra recovery. Riding with a group really helps to improve group riding skills and when a pace is dictated by the coach can stop people racing off. Big bike miles were the focus and whilst I have done more miles before the quality of riding was the key. I can safely say all of this was found and more.

It’s been a week now since camp where a group of like minded athletes, including 3 of the 4 UK Computrainer sponsored athletes, spent a week under the watchful eye of coach Simon Ward.
