programs are available in our Bookstore.
Fatigue is another common reason why a rider doesn’t finish
as well as he would like.
There are many different types of fatigue that can affect you
in varying degrees. Emotional, physical, mental, heat and dietary
are among the most common affecting the racer. It is essential
that you become aware of and learn your early signs and symptoms
of fatigue and be able to tape corrective actions.
Lets take a closer look at rider fatigue problems and what we
can do to prepare, prevent, or combat them.
Exercising, in most cases, is one of the best anti—fatigue
methods to counter effects of fatigue. |
| FATIGUE while racing |
Fatigue is the single most factor for rider
accidents. Being tires means that there is a high probability
that you are making boor judge calls. In other words making
bad decisions and a lot more mistakes. Being tiring before the
race is over could have infinite reasons but the solutions are
generally that you have emptied you body's energy gas tank.
Eating is a slow way to recharge your energy system because
the digestive track requires the most energy in the body to
operate. Recharging your body's electrical gas tank is
a better solution. This is done with an Orgone Blanket
or a High Voltage Tesla electric coil. See our "Electromagnetic
Therapies" section in "Rider Remedies" for how
you can made or buy one.
What you will generally observe in a tired or fatigued rider
are:
1. Sloppy riding technique and/or riding at speeds or in conditions
over your head
(beyond your abilities)
2. Improper physical conditioning and/or training habits
3. Water/salt dehydration imbalance (Heat Fatigue)
4. Vitamin and/or nutrition imbalance
5. Improper usage of body produced adrenalin
Let’s discuss the above one at a time.
1.
Above
The solution to #1 above is both fun and easy for most riders.
Seek out private riding lesson at a qualified motocross school
to correct these problems. Each Motocross school has something
unique and different to teach and show you. You can learn from
anyone but the best place to learn is from an organized school.
Not only will you learn more and at a faster rate, but an organized
approach always produces longer retention of what was learned
and integrates or paves the way towards learning more advance
techniques and methods. If you haven’t been to more than
one Motocross school I do suggest that you do so. Not only will
you learn more about what works well for you but what don’t.
I remember David Bailey telling me he went to a MX school one
or twice a year to review techniques and skills and refresh
his memory to riding tips that he had forgotten. He said he
was always amazed when he found himself using those tips in
the next race. He didn’t use the school so much for learning
something new, but rather for review, proficiency, and as a
refresher course. Through the years I have learned that this
practice was unique to David. Maybe that is one of the reasons
why he was so good. For all the right reasons all MX schools
are good.

Physical conditioning and training is a lot of work. There is
no way around it and there is no substitute for being in shape.
Conditioning required daily and weekly training habits and routines,
developed over years, to reach a competitive level. If we look
at the top Pro’s there should be no doubt in your mind
that Jeff Stanton is the strongest and in the best physical
conditioning. Not training or breaking the training routine,
for even just one week, can create a weakness the opens a door
for #2. Physical conditioning and muscle development doesn’t
come over night, it doesn’t weeks, it requires many months
of hard dedicated and disciplined commitment. You training and
conditioning plan should include the following:
1. Quality practice on the bike working on the five categories
of raci41 maneuvers which should practice each category every
time you ride. They are:
a. Rider Controlled Weight Shifting
b. Braking
c. Starting
d. Cornering
e. Jumping
2. Physical Training (also see our "Physical Training &
Development" section.
A. Jogging, riding, and
B. Bicycling
C. Support weight training
A. Jogging should be the same time duration as the Moto that
you plan to race. You should have two or three different running
loops for training to keep you creative. You should time and
record (in your training log) the times and distances ran. With
time and development the distances will get greater for the
same time ran and/or the times will shorten to run the same
distance. You should jog two to three times per week with one-day
rest in between each training day. The jogging time is 35 minutes
and the distance ran must follow the rules for self-competition.
That is to say you must run the same distance as last time or
a little bit further. When the distance becomes 6.5 miles you
will be strong enough to compete against the best.
Side Note: one other training exercise that
I recommend to develop your endurance for a 35 minute moto is
to ride the bike standing during each practice session. Commit
to ride standing until you can ride the entire moto standing
without getting tired or fatigued. It sounds easier than it
is. It is a hard workout. You will know exactly what I mean
after you try it for the first time.
B. Bicycling should be two to three times per week with one-day
rest in between. They should be on the same days that you jug
but with a least a one-hour rest between. This allows for proper
muscle and cardiac vascular recovery. You should bicycle twice
the time of the Moto you plan to race. You should have two or
three cycling loops. This, like the jogging loops is done to
keep you alert and so you don’t get bored or hypnotized
from a monotonous training routine. What ever happens to you
on your training will surface during the race. keep the loops
creative and full of action. It will keep you alert on the race
track.
C. Support Weight Training must develop Endurance type muscle
strength, not Power. Never train power methods for raci41 motocross
events as they condition muscles to pump-up. Do include aerobic
condition in each endurance training procedure. Aerobic condition
should be limited to one to two minute intervals with no more
than 5 sets per 35 minute run or rider. This conditioning allows
for a one to two minute charge during different times in each
moto. Endurance weight training helps cardiovascular development
and conditioning. But it is never a substitute for running or
riding.
3 Above
If number three above applies to you I would suggest the following:
1. Mix 3 lemons per gallon of water to drink before, during,
and after each Moto
2. Potassium (Potassium Glutamate) 99 mg
3. Or better yet, try the natural processed sugar balanced
pre-mixed electrolytic drink called Glyco Max. Proper
sugar balance during raci41 greatly influence your ability to
perform at your peak. Glyco Max has discovered the formula
and supplies it in a sequence of drinks taken before, in between,
and following each raci41 event as well as practice.
If you have not considered the glucose management in your training
and raci41 may I suggest you do so. Let’s consider
this question, “Why is Glucose management important to
add to your raci41 habits?” The lack of Glucose
in your body while you are raci41 is deadly to your health and
safety.
Glucose:
1. Pulls oxygen
2. Holds moisture
3. Feeds the Brain
4. Maintains good vision
5. And it feeds all of your major organs
Racing speeds can be harmful to your and those around you when
the glucose in your body becomes depleted. Most riders
will not notice this lack but your biological systems will automatically
shut down including brain fade and vision loss. And if
you are looking to gain an edge then Glucose management in both
your practice and raci41 becomes very important to you.
Glyco Max is a "Time Released Glucose Energy program.

accomplished with race drink visit their web site at Glyco Max.

We have tested this product on our riders and found the following.
One of our training conditioning requirements is to be able
to run six miles in thirty-six minutes. On two different
occasions one rider’s running performance improved from
5.3 miles to 6.1 miles over the same 36 minute time period.
And likewise his performance showed up equally in his national
race results and national number. But may I suggest you
don’t take my word about performance gain but rather test
it and judge yourself.

about the amazing abilities and influences that Glyco Max has

4. Take an EPSOM SALT bath the night before and the night after
the race, routinely. You will find this gives you more energy
for racing, more productive sleep, help with the salt electrolyte
balance, and soothe some of those aches and sore spots usually
felt the next morning. I use 2 cups (quart) per bath for the
above (see Epsom Salt Bath Chart).
SIDE NOTE: The body was designed to work and function properly
from the use of water. There is no substitute. Water, the only
correct fluid and element, provides the transportation media
for the body’s metabolic and chemical exchange systems.
In a work out or raci41 moto, by the time you get thirsty, you
are in a state of dehydration. Your brain’s thirst response
mechanism lags behind the actual status in high stress athletic
events. Learn the time points where these thirst responses are
felt or noted and correct with an additional on-takes of water,
potassium salt, and/or lemon water before the next moto and
retest the thirst response mechanism. Fine-tune this procedure
until you can rider the entire moto thirst-free. Dehydration
is no fun to experience.
Sugars will dry you mouth and use up water through a chemical
process called hydrolysis. Sugar is a food the nervous system.
Milk will dry your mouth.
Grapefruit juice is used as a natural treatment for sore joint
and arthritis. It has a natural aspirin in it.
Orange Juice and Milk will congest you and promote muscle pump
up. However a glass of orange juice with a full lemon
squeezed into it is excellent.
Carbohydrates are the best foods to eat before raci41 events.
Like examples.
Relative to #3 above, I prefer the Lemon-water recipe to the
other drinks because of its nutritional value. The lemon water
helps 4 vital areas of the body relative to raci41:
1. Quenches your thirst
2. Replaces, naturally, your cellular salts and vitamins
3. Helps prevent dehydration
4. Doesn’t produce nausea feeling drink it directly after
a long hot ride
Another point to consider is the fact that it is a lot more
economical than the other selections above.
If number four above applies I suggest the following:
1. Besides eating a good nutritional diet take an excellent
daily supplement vitamin. Testing pro & amateur riders I
found that a Chelated Mineral time release multiple
Vitamins and amino acid formula called Ultra MEGA worked well.
It is available at General Nutrition Centers (GNC). The best
intake results found from all the testing was":
1. Take one in the morning on regular days and
2. Take one in the AM and a second at noon for high stress or
workout days
This method of for taking the above vitamin produced the best
gain and effectiveness from vitamin supplementation. |
| SUMMARY |
Planning and preparing for the raci41 event
can solve fatigue. Spending some time each day on a well planned
raci41 physical fitness program is a must if you body is to
be ready race day. If you first plan you work, then work you
plan, you will stay on course and reach your goal. If you do
not plan you work, then you have no course to follow, and will
not get to your destination or goal. If you really want to become
#1, don’t you think it’s about time you took the
time to plan your work so you have a course to follow (see my
Success article)?
