I have never done a marathon cycling event, but I am coaching two athletes who are exceling at this discipline. This past weekend both riders, in different races, rode extremely well finishing among the best in the world!
Shey Lindner at the 12 Hours of Razorback in Reddick, Florida, rode 13 laps (the same # as Tinker Juarez), 134 miles, and over 12 hrs of mountain bike racing! Report and photos
Rick Rheingans, in Sebring Florida, rode 426.3 miles in the Ultra 24 hour road cycling event. This is a non-drafting RAAM (Race Across America) qualifying event. Needless to say he qualified. Bike Sebring Results
Congratulations to Rick and Shey, these rider are making me proud while validating my coaching techniques.
