CLERMONT, FL July 9, 2020— Alicia Weber, World’s Most Prolific Female Record Holder, added her 19th Sport and 9th World Championship to her resume in Rare Fashion. Without ever practicing, Alicia entered the 2020 Bike Erg World Sprints (4k) Championship. She had to compete 4,000 meters on a Concept 2 Bike Erg (which she never used or even tried before)! She competed in the World Wide Virtual Championship at Opex South Lake.
“Part of the excitement in doing it was psychological. I went into it without practicing on it and I only had expectations based on previous road cycling races, mtn bike races, and triathlons. The curiosity of how the Bike ERG compared was a driving force,” exclaimed Weber.
Walking into this adventure got Weber’s adrenaline pumping and temperature upto 99.3 degrees. Once she settled onto the saddle, she figured out the rigmarole. She thought averaging 20mph would be a starting goal and realistic target (as a former pro triathlete she was able to average 20mph in the 40k and in time trial bike races she would average 21-22mph). NO WAY… After the first 1,000 meters, Weber realized the Bike ERG is a different acquired skill that would take a lot of practice. She then quickly reassessed her goals at the half-way point as her quads were burning (the main muscle group used is Quads, while her road/triathlon bike focused on hamstrings). She wanted to average 80-95 RPMs, but maintained 78 RPM at level 4. She finished her first ever Bike ERG experience 4,000 meter in 9:05.3 to be entered in the World Championship where she placed 86th Woman in World.
“I feel the Bike ERG is a wonderful aerobic and leg strengthening routine. It compliments road cycling and mountain biking, but works on other fitness. They say 1 mile of a mountain bike = 3 miles of road cycling, which I can believe, but the BIKE ERG is in a league of its own with the level of challenge it presents. I will be practicing it more,” mentioned Weber. – END OF REPORT…NOW ONTO STRENGTH FEATS.
