Training Tuesday: Matt Fitzgerald, Sports Nutrition Extraordinaire
Because no one has written much on nutrition for cyclocross racers, we at Cyclocross Magazine decided to ask Fitzgerald for some cyclocross-specific advice. As ’crossers, we have interesting nutritional needs: we race in all types of temperatures and climates, we go hard for 45 minutes two days a week and then recover to do it all again and of course, we do love the beer tent. We’re a nutritional enigma, trying to eat healthy surrounded by waffle carts and chocolate-covered bacon and trying to stay svelte for a long season that often isn’t a racer’s main season is a challenge in and of itself. It gets even harder when racers’ schedules demand a lot of recovery and travel time, and little by way of long hours on the bike. Luckily, Fitzgerald had some tips for us.

The Dirtbag Chronicles: Olympic Cyclocross, the Pipe Dream(?)
It’s the quadrennial running of the Summer Olympic games and that gets cyclocross fans thinking about the epic injustice of cross’ exclusion from the Games. Rabid fans want cross included in the games and have filled internet forums with impassioned pleas and even started an online petition. In other words, they haven’t done jack except bitch about it. Personally, I can take or leave CX Olympic inclusion, but I do have some helpful hints about how to go about it.
