Competence and Confidence
The Athletes Goals and Aspirations
JT was training for the Coast 2 Coast. Her focus was on riding competently and confidently through all the three cycle sections of the race, recognising that each stage was subtly different.
The training plan
We made JT a faster and more confident rider through a combination of individual sessions and regular OCC group training rides (that included specific skills and techniques).
The Result
While C2C was cancelled in 2022 JT now has the skill set and confidence to ride safely & competently in cycle groups.
Paul – thanks for the coaching and dragging me up from C grade! I had confirmation that I will start this Sunday’s Benchmark race (round 4 – Tour of Selwyn – 2010)
