August was a busy month for many Momentum Endurance athletes, but Tom Felton got off to the fastest start. On August 4th he blazed
earning the State Champion jersey. Being relatively new to Time Trial competition, Tom entered and handily won the Men’s Category 4 event with a time faster than that of the Men’s Cat 3 Champion. Undoubtedly Tom possesses skill in the TT discipline that has just started to shine.
With the State Time Trial Championship occurring late in the season we successfully used a second build up phase that allowed Tom to fully hone in his TT positioning while also further developing his ever important Lactate Threshold fitness. With the goal firmly set and training objectives clearly defined, Tom did an awesome job to execute the plan that we set out with. He knew that with hard work and quality rest along the way things would come together nicely. And they did just that.
A big congratulations goes out to Tom and all of those who supported his efforts along the way. It was a true pleasure to provide him with Momentum in his successful accomplishment of winning the State Time Trial Championship.
Here’s to more great rides in the future,
