I just got home from a weekend in Whistler/Pemberton training with Todd Schumlick, the owner and director of PerformX Racing. We spent time learning workouts in the gym, talked about the mental aspect of racing, and talked about nutrition. I had a great time and learned a lot.
The main things that I took away from this weekend are:
- I need to do it on my own.
- Nobody can get stronger or faster but myself.
- I need to put the time and effort into training.
In nine weeks I’m getting back together with Todd to update some of the workouts and plan for the race season.
That sounds like a fun week-end!!!

You have the drive, desire, and natural ability in riding; NOW if you add mental and physical training a long with the education in the sport… with alot of practice you will be able to ride with the top compeditors AND give them a RUN for thier money and and EARN thier respect…
With perseverace it could put you in “top dog spot” a good pun… ha ha…
serioslely the more you put into it the more you get out of it… go man go!!!
Levi. That sounds really interesting. You should connect with Aaron to talk about what you learned especially about nutrition. We’ve been working in trying to figure out what to eat on race days. Any suggestions would be helpful. I know he’s been working on his mental ‘toughness’ as well 🙂
Well, that is so inspiring. Sounds like another piece of the puzzel in your drive to your dream. Just watching the Olympics and thinking of the amount of time and dedication to be the best – keep going!!!!
Most definitely!
