Through the winter when you’re working on your
core, do you go to the gym, or is it all bicycle or run-
ning or riding?
It’s all of those things. Usually it’s about two days of
gym work a week. Sometimes a stretching class on top of
that. Then in addition to the gym, it’s a lot of mountain
biking. In fact, I just bought a gravel bike so I’m going to
be doing more long endurance days on the gravel bike.
Running here and there. We don’t do too much running
because ankles and knees and all that. But I do like run-
ning. Actually, I hate it, but because I hate it, I like it. So, I
try to run every once in a while, but it’s mainly just a ton
of moun-tain biking and heart rate zone training, and
gym work. Then on top of that just tons of riding. I’ve
been doing all kinds of riding. Everything from corner
tracks to extreme en-duro rides. A lot of extreme enduro
rides.
Is there any event that you’ve never ridden that is
on your bucket list?
This one that I’m at right now in Peru is actually one
of those. I’d really like to go do Romaniacs. I think that
would be good just because of how grueling it is. I’m not
a big giver-upper and I think that that would play into
my hand. I have the ability to focus for a long period of
time, when I need too. The rest of the time I can’t, but
when I’m riding and racing I can. I think because of that I
could do well just because the endurance aspect. There’s
so many factors of that race. It’s insane. For some reason
Romaniacs sounds like a good idea to me. n
