After a recovery week the CVTC team is fired up for a testing week. First out: Uphill running time trial.

Start: Garibaldi Park road
Distance: 3.7 km
Vertical climb 600 m

The first test during the CVTC testing week was the running time trial. It’s uphill and a lot of it. In fact the whole course is just up, up, up and no place for recovery. You go too fast in the beginning and you’re done. You go too slow in the beginning and you wont get a good time. The first half it’s about pace and then just to go all out with everything have.

The girls started off first. Bryn, Emily and Leah who is new on the team and just arrived after a busy biking season. Just over 30 minutes later they reached the finish line. Then we had Jesse, Pate, Alistair, Sam and Thomsen at times just over 20 minutes. There’s still some time left to the course record by Kris Freeman but over all it was a good test. We had several personal records showing that the athletes are on the right way.
