My Personal Experience with SMSG (Sports Medicine Specialty Group)

The first thing you need to know is that I’d never had a professional bike fit done, nor any type of performance testing.  I’ve always personally tinkered with my fit on the bike based off of feel and what I’ve learned talking to others and researching.  As for fitness testing, I felt is was unnecessary, after years of off and on training and working with different coaches and philosophies my stance was I know how to get myself fit enough to race.

Here is what I feel after doing through SMSG’s bike fit, Lactate Threshold and VO2 Max testing.

The Bike Fit

After doing the bike fit with Dr. Testa I realized that my shoot-from-the-hip approach had a lot of holes in it.  Certainly after all these year of riding I was in the window of a decent fit, but there were definitely tweaks that have made a difference in my comfort on my current bike.

 

Dr. Testa and the team did a great job, as you’ll notice in the video, breaking down each area.  We spent a lot of time on my ankle angling (which I was getting a lot of).  This was certainly an area I’d not focused on much and it has made a noticeable difference in efficiency on the bike.

 

The Testing

I believe the one thing I walked away with from the testing I did, was a better understanding of training zones.  It’s pretty easy to go out and know that you are doing an LSD (long steady distance) to work base, or working an interval day.  But, it it nice to know when you are really in the zone to achieve maximum results.  More importantly, for those of you wanting to take your training to the next level, to have the test results allows for creating a plan that will generate better profits.

#PCP2P Goodie Grab, thanks to these partners > Stanley Gripit Sports Skullcandy GRIP6 PitViper #CacheTailgatePad

Get out there and find it now (hidden on 10/15), you're looking for the Stanley Lunch Box. It will be found on the P2P course somewhere within the first 15 miles. HINT: If you were having trouble during the race, this would be a good spot to "call for help." HINT #2: there is an image of it posted here (look hard).

And if you find it...and don't post about it - bad trail karma will fall upon you
