csa cyling camp in stellies

hey everyone.

on the 2nd of december myself and brendon davids left for stellenbosch. i was pretty excited as what exactly we were going to be doing. that night we all had a meeting, about 28 of us, to discuss our individual programs.

we all had unique time slots and activities through out the day starting and 9 and ending at 6. we only had about 5 sessions each day so we had plenty of spare time.
it was difficult to find time to ride as we all had different sessions.

i would be here forever if i told you exactly what we did but they included things such as: body composition, flexibility and power; Vision; Core; Gym; ice baths; Massage; Spinscan; Nutrition; Biodex; Psychology; Shopping (how to read the labels in a store) and Muscle Activation.

the testing, i found was not really suited to us(juniors) as we know have to improve in many places, it is more suited to an elite athlete who is at the pinnacle of their training and cant do anything else to get better. it was a unique experience and i will definitely be going back, only because i had such a jol and made so many new friends.

the riding there is utterly unbelievable, on the sunday a group of us, about 10 riders, rode out to gordons bay to climb this 4km long mountain, which really hurt after racing it twice at full race pace! but ay. . . if it doesn't kill you it only makes you stronger.

until next time.

keep the rubber planted
