  • Over the past few months, Manon has been training for her longest ever ride at SBT GRVL using Wahoo Systm. To see how ready she is for this epic race, she visited the new Wahoo Sports Science Center in Colorado for a tour and to undergo an in-depth fitness test. How much fitter is Manon now and is she ready for her brutal 142-mile gravel challenge?

      Logically energy management comes first, then, base that into speed output for the entire 224km route, of course its gonna be a rough estimate because of nutritional and biological or environmental factors, then based on that estimate, how well will manon compare to other competitors according to that estimate, i don't agree with "counting calories" because nobody can utilize nutrition at 100% accuracy, that's why there is a team who went after eastern african individuals because if i remember right, they can run under extreme heat for hours as their means of "transport" and it is natural for them, i can understand why they got recruited, central and eastern africans are well known for their aerobic endurance, so someone decided to tap into that potential to win this business, im excited for manon

    The results are posted (google is your friend) In her age group, Women 19-29, She came in 11th at 9:34:54 , a contender. Good job, waiting on the report from Manon and how she is feeling. Looking forwards to seeing her in the Unbound 200 June 3rd, 2023 in Emporia, Kansas.

    I love when Manon asks if she will finish the race and the tester is just like uuuhh ummmm 👍. Some things can't be answered with math lol...thats what I love about ultra endurance, its a great equalizer in a way. A pro can DNF whilst a first timer just wanting an experience finishes with a smile ear to ear. Love it

Good luck to you as well, but more importantly I hope you really enjoy it. Your in some of the best for what the US has to offer as scenery.

    Wow...Manon does real science. My understanding and respect for Wahoo just went up exponentially. Manon has got data to base her HR efforts on, fuelling and hydration strategy. So physiologically she has the framework to do the race, the other major part is psychologically...that part is entirely in her hands. You've got this Manon 👍

A deep dive into the Half Monty and 4DP protocols and definitions of the training zones and other physiological tech would be interesting.
