In Fast Talk Episode 147: What 2020 Taught Us and the Exciting Places 2021 Will Take Us, Trevor, Ryan Kohler, Jana Martin, and I each highlighted the big event we plan to target this year:
- Trevor wants to prove he can still race at a high level now that his racing license says 5-0!
- Ryan wants to test himself at Breck Epic, a six-day MTB stage race.
- New to the sport, Jana has chosen to attempt her first gravel race.
- And I’ve decided there’s no better way to spend my vacation than riding 2,500 kilometers along the western coast of Ireland in my first bikepacking race.
We are calling these 2021 rides our N1 Challenge: We are each an experiment of one and our experience can provide lessons for all.
Forum and Library Members can follow us on our journeys as we highlight the training, nutrition, skills, and gear it takes to tackle such events. Just keep an eye on “The Fast Talk Laboratories N1 Challenge” topic over in the Races, Rides, Runs Forum Category. There we will share articles, videos, workshops, and podcasts on what it takes to take on a big event.
We encourage you to take the N1 Challenge!
Join us here in the Fast Talk Podcast Forum and make your commitment to your N1 Challenge.
