As I near the end of 2005, I calculate the cost of my training over this last year:
M2 Coaching: $200/month x 12 months = $2400
Team Clinic/ART/Chiropractic: $4817.50
Dr. Rikke/Healthlogic/Graston/Chiropractic: $730
This doesn’t count all the clothes, powdered sports drinks, energy bars, bike equipment, sneakers, etc. I bought this year.
So coaching+medical = $7947.50
This coming year, I’ll try to keep better track of costs.
But definitely the medical stuff has worked wonders. The performance enhancing treatment of ART and Graston has improved my racing performance greatly.
