If New Zealand track cyclist Alison Shanks trains 6.5 hours for every second she races, then how much training did she do to win the World Champion title in the women’s Individual Pursuit with a time of 3 minutes and 30.199 seconds?
One of my favorite YouTube users — who has been dormant for about a year now — just started uploading videos from the World Champs. Nice!
So without further ado, here’s Sarah Hammer (USA) and Alison Shanks (New Zealand) facing off in the dramatic women’s Individual Pursuit final. Congratulations, Sarah!
