Breck Epic- every second counts…

Jeremiah won the prologue at the Breck Epic Stage Race by 19 seconds over mountain bike legend and Olympian Travis Brown. Stage 1 he came from behind after a flat tire and squeaked out a 22 second advantage. On Stage 2 the battle continued, and after over 2 hours of racing Jeremiah came out on top by a mere 5 seconds.

So what does it take to make every second count?

Attention to Detail!

• Optimal Nutrition:  At least 2 ounces of Monavie/day for your antioxidants, a varied diet, plenty of water, and Monavie Energy (Emv) for acute energy needs.

• Optimal Equipment:  The Cannondale Scalpel with Stan’s wheels,  Kenda Tires, and Scrub Rotors is the ultimate tool for endurance mountain bike racing. At 20 lbs with 4″ of efficient travel, it just can’t be beat!  Sugoi Team Monavie-Cannondale clothing is light, fast, and comfortable. It does what clothing is supposed to do, never crosses your mind. BD Flash hydration pack with Polarpak bladder is the lightest easiest means for getting fluids during a long race. If you have to train or race in the dark nothing is lighter and brighter than Exposure Lights.

• Optimal Bike Fit: Wobble-Naught precision laser bike fitting places man and machine in the most efficient power producing position and trains the rider to get the most out of their body.

• Optimal Support: It’s often said “it takes a village to raise a child”. Well it takes a Team to “raise a racer”.  Family, friends, teammates, mechanics, massage therapists, physio’s, trainers, engineers, designers, sponsors, fans, everyone has a critical role. No one can do it alone!

• Optimal Rest: Time for bed!
