Can playing a saxophone raise your Vo2 Power? 82 year old says it's true!

Have to brag a little bit again.   Carl is an inspiration to us all. 

Carl has made some huge gains and won (2) national championship jerseys at Masters Nationals this year!    He's also on the way to World championships in Austria next week.... Hopefully he'll bring back a rainbow or two.

Carl Grove raised his FTP from 220 to 240 this year.


He's 82.......

weighs 138lbs.

He uses a Quarq, downloads each day

How many 82 year olds do you know that even use a computer much less train with a power meter?
Won both TT at nats- by over 7 minutes and Road race by 15 minutes


Training with power isn't just for the young guys...

Great article and pictures of Carl are here. Check it out!

P.S. - Andy C. Carl said he remembers you from 1970's racing and thought you were "a talented young lad" back then......
