From the article “White cyclists, we must do better” in @canadiancycling : "The sport of cycling has a deep rooted history of racism. From its founding, the League of American Bicyclists banned African American cyclists, a measure that was only officially overturned in 1999 by former League president Earl F. Jones—an African-American attorney and bicycle advocate.

Major Taylor, one of America’s most prolific cyclists, won the sprint event at the 1899 world track championships to become the first African-American to achieve the level of cycling world champion. He also set numerous world records in race distances ranging from the quarter-mile to the two-mile in the late 1800s.

Taylor faced racism at every point of his career. He dealt with competitors refusing to race him, verbal assaults and was once even choked unconscious by a cyclist he beat in a race." Read the full article at the link in our bio.

The time away from racing can be an opportunity to contemplate and appreciate the tenacious history and culture of cycling. There’s a fondness for the sport that is inherent in coaching, though it often percolates below the surface as we work diligently with individual athletes.

Coach Ruth has some fuel tips for you, riding into this weekend... (Pictured here munching on some WILD asparagus) @ruthwinder8 says- “People really tend to under fuel in my experience, when you are doing hard workouts you need to keep in mind that carbohydrates are your body's primary fuel source. It's essential for me to get in a good breakfast containing carbs, protein and fat. Typically I will have yogurt, nut butter and a spectacular amount of corn flakes. During training, eating every 45 minutes, starting after the first 45 minutes is a huge focus to make sure I am keeping fueled during my ride. It's amazing how much better you feel at the end if you fuel properly at the beginning!

For me personally I love to bake. I love love love making my own sourdough pretzels or bread. My favorite post ride lunch is a few slices of fluffy flavorful bread with some butter, jam, and eggs! Eating pre, during and post are all equally important. If you're not fueling yourself optimally then you won't be getting the most out of your body!”

Another nice shot from the “things we won’t take for granted anymore” archives... .
.
We hope you all are staying safe as some re-openings occur this weekend. During this time we encourage you to reach out to us with your triathlon and cycling coaching needs. Training solo may be the name of the game for now, but that doesn’t mean you need to go it ALONE. .
.
Through this time, a lot has changed, but a lot has stayed the same. We continue to provide the same level of coaching for amateur to elite athletes. Luckily, our coaches have always been equipped to coach remotely. Coach Simon, as pictured here, is our only coach who resides out of state, but he still manages to make an incredible impact on our team, from a very safe distance! Sometimes he even graces us with his presence here in Boulder. .

We have to admit, we are missing the days when coaching within close proximity wasn’t of concern. (Pre Covid-19 Photo)

This weekend as some of the nation begins to re-open, are you planning to resume your training? What precautions are you taking and how are you addressing any inclinations to “over do it”? .

Who’s appreciating a good home view right now, with plenty of sunlight? This “Stay Home view” is from APEX Coach Simon Bennett... .
.
Here’s what Simon has to say about training and living in balance if you’re currently physical distancing and in isolation due to COVID-19: .
.
“Balance is everything! This period of fewer distractions and slower pace is not confining but rather a gift of more time to focus, prepare and invest in others. Use this time to work on strength (mental and physical), technique for specific disciplines and decreasing muscle imbalances. .
.
Go back to the basics and be sure your doing them well with correct technique. Be very careful not to over train during this time! More time does not mean you need to train more. Sure, we don't have the opportunity to get in a group workout and your day to day training may look a little different, but with a little creativity and renewed focus on your long term goals there is no doubt you can emerge as a stronger and better prepared athlete for the season ahead. .
.
Keep focused on your long term goals not your short term situation.” - Coach Simon .
