A season of racing recap from APEX athlete @dc_rid

A season of racing recap from APEX athlete @dc_rides_bikes

Today I took a few minutes to reflect back on my season. Yep, I didn’t make it to Tokyo which kinda bummed me out, but when I started the season I had no expectations to race more than Huntsville and Nationals in Boise. And wow. I have to be really proud of what I accomplished this year. I would say I had a heck of a season! I won every domestic race and earned a podium spot at world champs! I’m also humbled and honored to be selected to the US National Team! Here is the season breakdown:

🥇1st Place Men's T2 Time Trial - US Paralympics Cycling Open - Huntsville AL
🥇1st Place Men's T2 Road Race - US Paralympics Cycling Open - Huntsville AL
🥉3rd Place - Men's T2 Time Trial - UCI Paracycling World Championship - Portugal
🤦🏻‍♂️4th Place - Men's T2 Road Race - UCI Paracycling World Championship - Portugal
🥇1st Place - Men's T2 Time Trial - US Paralympic Team Trials - Minneapolis
🥇1st Place - Men's T2 Time Trial - USA Cycling Paracyling National Championship
🥇1st Place - Men's T2 Road Race- USA Cycling Paracyling National Championship.

Benny talks about his love for nature inspiring him to get into the sport, the feel of the Xterra community, and racing with the guys he used to look up to as a kid.

We’re proud to say Benny is an APEX athlete, coached by the one and only Simon Bennett.

Did you know? ⁠
⁠
Our founder, Coach @nealahenderson is also the Co-founder of Ride for Racial Justice with the one and only @triguy70.3 ⁠
⁠
Last weekend was 1-year since their Inaugural Ride in Denver. The undeniable fact of racism that surfaced for all to see last June is still very much a part of cyclists of color's daily rides and lives. ⁠
⁠
If you have the means, consider supporting the @rideforracialjustice BIPOC Athlete Program to get 25 athletes of color to the start-line of @SBTGRVL⁠

Coaching Tip of the Day: Play to your strengths⁠

Coaching Tip of the Day: Play to your strengths⁠
⁠
Strength training has its benefits, but whether or not a coach includes it in cycling and multi-sport training plans is based on each individual athlete's interests, goals and needs. ⁠
⁠
What are your strengths and how are you putting them to use today?⁠

As we've learned over and over for the past year plus, there's no avoiding the unknown- the unexpected challenges that come for our expectations like wildfire 🔥 So, what if you could use the unexpected as fuel for your own fire?⁠

It's #mentalhealthawarenessmonth and if you're human- you can relate. You can have an off day, off week, even an off month and still be a great athlete. 💪 ⁠
⁠
Your coach is always there for you, and it's important to let them know where you're at. Just as in basic goal setting, you can't go anywhere better if you're not even sure where you're at. ⁠
⁠
Take the time to check in- with yourself and with your coach. Honesty is brave. Honesty goes a long way. ⁠

She coaches cyclists at the elite and amateur level. ⁠
⁠
Ruth made the 2016 Olympic Track Cycling Team for Team Pursuit, winning the 2019 National Road Race Championship, and taking home the over all win for the Tour Down Under in 2020. Ruth has seen much success on the Velodrome in past years and in European racing since transitioning back to road after the 2016 Olympics. She is currently racing full time in Europe for the Pro World Tour Team: Trek-Segafredo. Most recently, she won the Belgium spring classic Brabantse Pijl 2021!⁠
