  • Some unreleased footage of our race fun in Finale Ligure, Italy at the Trophy of Nations last year. We went on to place 3rd and had the closest finishing time of any team. It was a wild event!

    So sick Jesse, thanks for sharing! I love getting to see the whole course of an enduro track rather than just a few highlights of some gnarly sections. Really goes to so how intense these races are. You don't get to see the uphill, the flat out pedaling, the pain on multiple stages and huge HABs that really goes into these races which in my opinion makes this category of racing so insane!

    • @JesseMelamedMTB

      @@MyBatanghamog To sprint like that? Well I have been training for the last 10 years or so, so there is one quick fix for that. But I would say you could try to do a few longer intervals where you try and find your lactate threshold that you can hold for 5-10 minutes steady. That will help you pace yourself in race stages.
