David Mason from Stow, Scotland, completed the “Tour O The
Borders” http://tourotheborders.com/
, on a recumbent. The Tour is a 120 kms (74 mile) sportive with
significant climbing, including the infamous Talla climb that includes a
section of 20% grade, on a recumbent.
David and I reviewed the course profile and developed a
training plan to improve his FTP and especially his sustained endurance
capabilities. We set a goal of 3:55:00, which meant maintaining nearly 19
mph average. His official finishing time: 3:55:07.
Sweet.
Here is a really sweet closing note on his blog about this
event, link below:
"I’d like to put in a shout for Rickey Wray Wilson who has been kicking
my butt and getting me into shape in the past few months. I had been training
by myself using TrainerRoad in the year prior but seemed to be stuck on a
plateau with the limited time I have available for training. Rickey helped
change that and has elevated me to a higher level in just a few months. I feel
like another year with Rickey and I might be contending at or near the front in
some of these events. I have had a blast training with Rickey and look forward
to more of the same!”
David is Coached by PCG Elite Coach Rickey Wray Wilson
Really great job by David! Congratulations on a big success!
