Some Upcomimg Event Details & A Training Tip

Congratulations again to everyone who raced this weekend, way to represent for Endure It!! we have some events on the horizon and want to make sure everyone is informed and we would really love to have you out as well. So here are some details:

8/17/2011 - Endure It Group Ride / BBQ @ 6:00 p.m. Endure It Naperville

We will be rolling out of the Naperville shop at 6:00 p.m. for a no drop group ride of around 20-25 miles. The ride will be followed by a BBQ at the store. Of course we want you on the ride, but if you can't make it stop by after for a burger, beer and to share those race stories with your fellow club members. Rumor has it Bird is going to be wearing bibs and giving out high fives!

9/11/2011 - Ironman Wisconsin

We always have some amazing club members who take on the challenge of Ironman Wisconsin, and if you've never experienced an Ironman come join us as we stake our claim on the top of the hill on Old Sauk Pass, one of the largest hills on the IMWI course. It's always a great time and this is the best place to watch the bike portion of the race. More details will follow, along with directions to where we will be set up. We will be grilling out up on the hill so if you plan on coming please let us know (Ricklapinski@hotmail.com) so we can make sure to have enough food.

Fall 2011 - Chicago Cyclocross Series

Let's make a statement at the races this fall. I'm thinking crazy hand ups and rowdy fans!

Endure It Training Tip - Consistency is Key

As the season starts to come to a close shortly something to keep in mind for future success is the idea of consistency. When we are done with our seasons it's always nice to take a little break. That's something which is very important for the mind and the body. The key is to make sure the break isn't too long. Stay active, cross train, go for a run without your Garmin, ride a new route, play dodgeball...do something different! The best way to set up a good 2012 season though is to keep a base. Set some goal times/distances that you would like to maintain each week through the off season. It's nice to work towards a goal (more on goal setting in an upcoming post) and a small attainable goal now will pay off next race season. Consistency is the key, day in and day out, week in and week out, ect...

Train hard, race harder!
