2) Had you changed-added anything to training this year?
-
Working with coach Jim Miller and slow/steady growth
4) fueling for performance
- Fueling in and around riding
- Taking ‘seasons’ for nutrition

Instead of letting my body get completely depleted on a ride and being panicked and “hangry” when I got home, I fueled throughout and could make healthy nutrition choices when I got home”
5) Earlier this year you were instagramming a lot of strength and balance work, is that a big part of your routine?
-
do you do that year round? A lot of cyclists hate going inside if they can ride?
-
Do you stick to a set routine?
- Favorite lifts/exercises
