Episode notes
From Ranch To International Racing
- Alison grew up on a cattle ranch, discovered endurance sports later, and moved quickly from triathlon into pro cycling.
- She raced internationally within months and continued a nine-year pro career before switching to gravel events like Dirty Kanza.
Dirty Kanza Pivot
- Alison entered her first gravel race, Dirty Kanza, as a road pro and set the women's course record over 206 miles.
- That result made her feel at home in the gravel community and shifted her focus away from road racing.
Data-Driven Athlete Journey
- Alison is a data junkie with a biochemistry and clinical psychology background who sought coaching and joined CTS early in her career.
- She gradually moved from mentorship with local coaches to working with Adam as her primary coach for structured support.
