Is anyone here interested (and qualified) in providing some coaching services for a human powered vehicle record attempt? The category is the collegiate team speed record, currently 61.3 mph. In general, the event is a flying 200m sprint that has a timed "speed trap" at the end for the record number, though the nuances of the faired recumbent vs a standard bike make it a bit nonstandard -- e.g. the rider position and acceleration characteristics among others. here is a paper that has some power files and pacing strategies from another attempt. Full disclosure, I'm not on the design team (https://www.hpv.calpoly.edu/), I just help them out sometimes with the cycling side of things.
The club is mainly looking for someone to help out with a training/nutrition plan for their rider. Being a college team they don't have too much money available for this (although I can't formally speak for them on that), but they also don't need an incredibly involved program either. If anyone here is interested please feel free to reach out and I will put you in touch with them to discuss the details!
