Coach's Corner Scott Mathewson Ira Tibbitts LOTOJA Stories told in Numbers Strawberry Canyon 1hr 12min 1hr 6min By Tommy Murphy 1st Climb: 42-60 Miles Average Watts 257 w 293 w Every race has a story and within every race, every racer has their own experience to share. Max Watts 656 w 998 w The 2007 edition of the LOTOJA Classic holds many stories and here I would like to share two different stories told in numbers. The first set of race data is from Scott Mathewson, 10th place Average Speed 15.3 mph 16.2 mph th finisher in the Masters 45+ A category. The second set of power data is from 8 place category 1/2 finisher, Ira Tibbitts. Data from both CTS athletes come from Powertap SL hub systems. These two racers are great for comparison as they both share tall frames of 6’2”-6’3” and Geneva Summit 9:10 min 8:30 min weigh within a few pounds of each other. Below you will find an overall review of both indi- 2nd Climb: 85-87 Miles viduals’ race data. Ira Tibbitts finished in a time of 9:24:23 while Scott Mathewson finished in 9:40:24, a difference of 16 minutes. Interesting to note is the average speed for both individu- Average Watts 263 w 328 w als was only .3 mph different while there is a 23 watt difference in average power. A difference Max Watts 377 w 704 w in official race time and time recorded on their Powertaps is also found. This is due to both Powertaps being set to collect and record data only when the hub is in motion. When the hub is Average Speed 12.3 mph 14.5 mph motionless no data is transferred. Both have similar differences in their official times compared to their Powertap times which is easily contributed to stoppage time at the stop lights through Jackson Hole before continuing onto the finish at Teton Village (note: neither racer stopped Salt River Pass 22:15 min 15:04 min through feed zones). Kilojoules are the measure of work done on the bike (Force x Distance) 3rd Climb: 104.8-108 Miles and one kilojoule is approximately equal to 1-1.1 kilocalories (or ‘calorie’ read on food labels) allowing us to determine one’s energy expenditure. Tibbitts logged a work load of 7,020 kj for Average Watts 197 w 302 w the race equating to an energy expenditure of 7,020 to 7,722 calories while Mathewson produced Max Watts 364 w 614 w 6,405 kj for an expenditure of 6,405 to 7,045 calories. Both completed more work, 8% and 11% respectively, in the first half of the race (Start to KOM) compared to the second half of the race Average Speed 8.9 mph 12.7 mph (KOM to Finish).

As many are forced into survival mode to just finish after the first half of LOTOJA, Tibbitts’ data Scott Mathewson Ira Tibbitts for miles 165 to 185 could be mistaken for a power file from a criterium. As Mathewson found Weight 188lbs / 85.5kg 182lbs / 82.7kg himself riding comfortably in a group averaging 22.3 mph (168 watts average), the fireworks were set to go off again in the category 1/2 lead pack. Attack after attack was imposed by the Place 10th Masters 45+ A 8th Category 1/2 remaining teams forcing Tibbitts to respond to 20 moves calling for power surges of over 700 66th Overall 25th Overall watts with 14 of those forcing powers of 900+ watts. Tibbitts averaged 24.2 mph for 50 minutes during this 20 mile section averaging 224 watts. As the racers took turns throwing blows at each Official Race Time 9:40:24 9:24:23 other, Tibbitts set himself up for the final substantial dig going into Jackson at mile 184. Here Time from Powertap 9:37:53 9:22:13 Tibbitts hit the leaders with a vicious punch on the climb holding 844 watts (26.8 mph) for 18 seconds, 1079 watts for 10 seconds with a max of 1249 watts (32.6 mph). Following his blow Timing Difference 2:31 min 2:10 min to the field, Tibbitts held a solo effort of 285 watts (23 mph) for the next 14 minutes and 26 sec- Average Watts 185 w 208 w onds (5.5 miles) to only lose his 1+ minute advantage at the stop lights in Jackson where he was subsequently caught by the remnants of the group. Max Watts 831 w 1288 w In the end, Tibbitts in only his second year of cycling successfully completed his second th Average Speed 21.1 mph 21.4 mph LOTOJA to take 8 place in the pack sprint after helping lead out fellow teammate Kirk Eck to 2nd place. Mathewson, a member of the LOTOJA 1,000 Mile Club, took his second consecu- Work / Kilojoules 6405 kj 7020 kj tive top ten Masters 45+ finish. Both share vastly different stories of LOTOJA 2007. One details the onslaught of attacks found in the category 1/2 field while the other shows the fortitude of a LOTOJA veteran after a disastrous bonk to still trudge on for a top ten result. Amazingly, after Peak 60 Minutes 259 w 293 w 206 miles and two totally different races the end result was a difference of only .3 mph in aver- Peak 30 Minutes 285 w 331 w age speed. As many prepare to take on a century or one of this year’s ultra-distant events (Tour de Park Peak 20 Minutes 288 w 351 w City, the Desperado Dual, LOTOJA, etc) it is critical for individuals to plan and train for the Peak 5 Minutes 323 w 371 w specific demands of the course. Pacing, conserving energy in a group, and proper fueling and hydration are key to a successful performance. Similarly to Mathewson, most will see their per- Peak 1 Minute 409 w 464 w formance decline over the course of an ultra event placing significant importance on one’s event Peak 5 Second 748 w 1245 w strategy. Overzealous legs or improper fueling in the first part of an event like Tour de Park City could lead to an unforgiving ascent of Bald Mountain Pass at 100 miles causing devastating time losses. In Looking at the data further, very little difference is found between Tibbitts’ and Mathewson’s short, be smart, numbers in the first half of the race (Start to KOM). Looking solely at the information below it’s be prepared, and hard to derive where the difference of 8 minutes between the two of them developed when the enjoy the ride in difference in average speed is only .1 mph but analyzing the files deeper unveils interesting find- these challenging ings. events.

Looking closer at each climb, it’s easy to see the substantial drop in Mathewson’s power at Salt River Pass. A build up of fatigue and inadequate fueling over the first two climbs led to a deficit by Salt River that he was never able to fully recover from for the remainder of the race.
