Welcome to the Ask a Cycling Coach podcast presented by Trainer Road.

Today we are going to talk about how to prep for big rides.

And because of that, we have Hannah Auto with us. Hannah, you just did Leadville. We're going to talk about that. You also live today, people can go check it out. There's a film all about the White Rim FKT, your fastest known time that you just took, which gives you the triple crown for Utah,

for this like southern Utah Moab area,

which is so cool. Coco Peli, you also have the whole enchilada and then now,

which not just down, but climb up and then down. And now you have white rim. We have some athlete

questions. If you're watching this right now, you can submit your questions. You can do so down below in the comments. And some of those questions has to do with big days like this and how to prep for him. So congrats Hannah on your FKT. Before we get to that, I want to talk a little bit about Leadville.

I do think it's important for people to hear that you don't get to win every race. You aim for it,

you strive for it, but it doesn't always happen. And so being happy with a result doesn't mean

that you're content or satisfied or not

striving for more. It just means, hey, this is what I was capable of today. And that's good.

And I'm happy with that. So yeah, oh, go ahead. I've got a question. This is a great point. How did you

the race, which it's a totally different animal, but before the race, having won it before,
