Triple C Coaching

Have you checked your inbox?

The April edition of the relaunched Triple C Coaching newsletter is now available.

I wanted to go beyond just advertising clinics/services and instead take deep dives into topics that matter to athletes.

I'm super excited to delve into topics in physiology, sports psych, nutrition, junior development, cyclocross, and more.

Please give it a read and subscribe.

What? Shouldering the bike over the barriers?!!

There are CX best practices, like we typically "suitcase" the bike over the barriers.

It's important to know these "conventions." Equally, it's important to know when to abandon them!

Here I am running the barriers with the bike on my shoulder.

Why?!!

There's a 100+ meter mud "slog" that follows the barrier. It's gonna be a long run, so I might as well get the bike on my shoulder!

These are the sorts of "tips and tricks" we will cover at Triple C Coaching's Advanced CX Skills, starting July 15. Spaces still available.

A slide from our CX Zoom tonight.....

In 2019, I might not have thought about coaching CX via Zoom. But that was so 2019!

Excited to host the Triple C Coaching FTW Cyclocross 1 "Chalk Talk" this evening. This Zoom supports the clinic's on-the-bike sessions. It turns out there's quite a lot we can learn incorporating visuals from World Cup level competitions.

We'll be using this learning mode still further for Triple C Coaching's 2021 Advanced CX Skills, starting July 15. BONUS: While you have to be in Minnesota to attend Triple C Coaching Clinics, that's not true for Zoom sessions.

2021 Advanced CX Skills registration, including Zoom only option, is now open. https://www.bikereg.com/cyclocross-skills-level-2 (link in bio).

Because it's never too soon to start CX skills practice.....

Do you realize it's less than 8 weeks till Tuesday Night CX?

Get a jump on the competition and freshen up your skills with Triple C Coaching's 2021 Advanced Cyclocross Skills.

During this course, we will:
--Review cyclocross basics: dismount, carry, barriers, remount, corners, starts
--Work transitions: on/off, carry, over barriers
--Practice riding steep ups/downs, off-cambers
--Discuss/practice tactics -- ride/run decisions, passing, blocking, when to attack.
AND more.

Limited spaces remain. Register today at https://www.bikereg.com/cyclocross-skills-level-2

How are your "off-cambers" coming along?

Can you dab or "scooter" with the inside foot? What's the best line? If you come off the bike, what do you do with it?--shoulder, suitcase, push?

Let's talk through and practice this skill.

Triple C Coaching 2021 Advanced Cyclocross Skills starts Thursday, July 15.

Designed for riders who are proficient in all cyclocross basics (off/carry/on, barriers, corners, basic handling). This course emphasizes advanced skills that Coach Corey learned while racing the European professional circuit.

Limited spots remain. Register today! https://www.bikereg.com/cyclocross-skills-level-2
