1:30 pm			Training With Power1:30 - 2:15 Training with power represents a significant paradigm shift in cycling, allowing the coach and athlete to quantitatively describe and analyze intensity, fitness, and training load. By taking the guesswork out of the construction and prescription of the training plan and review of race efforts, specificity (a key principle of any effective training plan) is taken to a whole new level. While anyone can train with a power meter attached to his or her bike it is another thing altogether to actually train with power, that is, to use the power meter to its full potential. In this talk we introduce the basic concepts associated with power-based training and how to apply them to different types of cycling. Lang Reynolds, USA Cycling Coach	1:30 pm

4:45 pm		Six Summits Project4:45 - 5:30 Erden Eruç had dreamed about a huge human-powered self-propelled journey since 1997. He always wanted the journey to be shared by children around the world. His goal was to turn the world into a giant laboratory to inspire and to engage the students. Much research and efforts to define the route had already taken place. When Göran Kropp, who had encouraged him to take on the journey, fell to his death while rock climbing together in September 2002, Erden decided that it was time to make this dream a reality. He was inspired to add the mountain summits to honor Göran. The result is the Six Summits Project, Erden's quest to climb the highest summits on six different continents by human power. He will cross the oceans by rowing in a westward push to reach the next continent. From the point of landfall, he will travel to the highest peak on that continent by bicycle, where he will meet his friends for the climb. He will relay the journey and the experience to the students via the internet. A Human Powered Journey by Seattle adventurer Erden Eruc		4:45 pm
