Ryan Crawford - UNBOUND Gravel 200
I couldn't have asked for more from Coach David Hettena. Thank you for understanding and working around my complicated parent schedule. I recognize I couldn't complete a standard 3/1 training schedule and feel you still fully utilized the time I had available.
David, you attendance at Unbound Gravel 200 was invaluable. I realize we had essentially covered all bases prior to arriving in Emporia and most equipment couldn't be changed by that point, but having you present to reinforce my planning and preparation, and obviously meeting you in person and your outstanding support at the aid station (still don't know how you lubed the chain so fast) was more than I ever expected or could ask for, so thank you.
The whole training program was amazing. I learned a lot both on and off the bike. I definitely could not have trained that many hours without your support not only from a motivation and guidance perspective but also from a brain capacity perspective... I think I'd be too tired to properly plan out my sessions.
This was key to my success at Unbound. Thank you for all of your additional support / general chat by text. I learned just as much from our informal chats as I did from our formal calls, so I appreciate you taking the time to research, share, discuss and apply concepts. I felt we bounced off each other in a positive, constructive manner, which I really appreciate!
