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.
Great to see the Kenyan cycling team 'Amani' getting some press. They are a strong team and passionate bunch inspiring many Africans and Kenyans to get on their bikes. Thank you! Good luck on Sunday Manon at the Steamboat Race.
Manon, thank you for being so open with what is pretty personal information. You sort of let them turn every stone over and shared that with the world. Appreciated, I learned a lot by listening. 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.
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
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 👍
Great video, Manon (as always!). Good luck for Steamboat Gravel. You will smash it. Look after yourself and have fun! We all know that you can and will complete the ride.
Wow! Wahoo is legit. Their building is state of the art and entirely focused on performance science. This is undoubtedly why the Kickr is still the trainer everyone wants.
Finally a nerdy look at training, and with Manon too! I’d like to see a GCN+ video with a more in-depth look at Manon’s testing, including LT1 and 2, as well as glucose utilization. A deep dive into the Half Monty and 4DP protocols and definitions of the training zones and other physiological tech would be interesting.
Wahoo is an awesome company their customer service is amazing. Their support and promptness to resolve issues is amazing in this day and age when companies are not focusing as much on customer service. You guys are building company and sustaining it the right way keep up the awesome work and always pedal hard🙂👍✌️🚴
Top notch video! Great content. Well presented. Not rushed. The sponsored content is organic to the story. Does not feel forced. The cherry on the cake is Manon herself. She is approachable and authentic. We are with you Manon - best of luck!
Not fussed about power but the breakdown of when she was using carbs etc was interesting because eating optimally is something that's impossible without such tests.
Manon, you're a beast! I love that you let us walk with you through the testing and data analysis. I wish I could do this! Planning on the 2024 Steamboat Gravel myself!
Enjoy the race as much as possible but also enjoy the beautiful scenery in Colorado. I have done a lot of both road and off road riding by motorcycle in Colorado, and the scenery is stunning. GO Manon GO!
this has been absolutely fascinating! that's some serious science. Good luck Manon, I am sure you'll finish the race, and I sincerely hope that you get the headspace to be able to enjoy it at least in places!
A very nice video, love all the details presented. I wish you a great experience and a strong finish 💪 ❤. Wahoo got it down to a science 😀. Thanks again GCN!!
Well Done Manon! Seeing Manon's face , my mind is screaming at me, Make it stop, please make it stop! It shows us how performance testing can really test our physical and mental toughness! Brillant !
Go Manon! Every confidence in you! When you’re mentally tired, think happy thoughts: think of the valleys and wonderful Welsh Cake and: pretend you’ve dropped Ollie. Again. And again, and Dan, and Si. Ride safe, eat, hydrate and be well. You’re an inspiration.
Keep us posted on how you did today!! I found myself cheering you on (as I'm sure many of us were) when you were pushing it at 300+ watts girl!! Best wishes!
How do you think Manon will get on at Steamboat?
You are going to smash it. Good luck!
Manon is going tough it out and finish, good luck

In all likelihood, extremely well. Especially if she follows the advice given and those numbers certainly sounded impressive.
manon will do great! good luck!
Manon will smash it, the testing guy was impressed with her performance, will be awesome to see the race !
She's gonna rock it. Go Manon!
@F Swimmblader Did she turn you down in middle school or something? Weird place for this energy, my guy.

Would love to see some videos with them!
Would be great to get GCN to next year's MGR race!
Always great to see initiatives to provide opportunities to riders who wouldn't otherwise have the the chance!

GO MANON! You have the fitness and intelligence to successfully finish! You are the GCN presenter with the most heart!!
Wonderful numbers Manon!! That half Monty is brutal.
You got this. Good luck!! Will be following your progress.
All the best Manon, you've got this 💪
My favorite moment was when she said "ding dong" when hitting the doorbell.
Wahoo is an awesome company their customer service is amazing. Their support and promptness to resolve issues is amazing in this day and age when companies are not focusing as much on customer service. You guys are building company and sustaining it the right way keep up the awesome work and always pedal hard🙂👍✌️🚴

Thanks Marc!

Not really there are tons of other variables like restedness, weather, race pace etc.
@@Grunge_Cycling That's not a counterpoint
@@whatwelearned yes, but this is the internet. Well constructed counterpoints rarely exist in this realm.

Manon, you're a rock star. You will do just fine!!!
