THE WORKOUT
Specialized Mixtape Workout #1: Chantal Blaak
Chantal does this HIIT workout to prepare for the Spring Classics at the beginning of her season. It works! She just won the first of the European Classics, the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, in convincing fashion on March 2nd! The high intensity 40-second intervals train your muscles to surge, whether you need that explosive power on a hill climb or to catch a breakaway attempt. Another benefit? Recovering quickly from these efforts. This workout makes Chantal stronger and it will do the same for you, whether you’re launching the attack or reeling it back in.

ABOUT CHANTAL
2017 World Road Race Champion
Chantal Blaak started 2019 with a bang, winning the first classic race of the season — Omloop Het Nieuwsblad — for her team, Boels–Dolmans. 2018? A win at the prestigious Amstel Gold Race. In 2017, the Dutch cyclist won world road race championship in Bergen, Norway, when she soloed off the front with 8 KM to go. She was also Dutch national champion that year. That followed an impressive 2016, where she won Le Samyn des Dames, the Ronde van Drenthe, Gent–Wevelgem and the Holland Ladies Tour.
IS THIS A RACE?
Hardly. The Specialized Mixtape Challenge is designed to help you push your limits. That might mean leaving it all on the proverbial dance floor or just grooving with the community and tunes. If you’re having fun, you’re doing it right.
UNLOCK THE COLLECTION
Every two events completed will unlock a piece of the Mixtape collection.
25% Socks

ABOUT MIXTAPE
The perfect ride, like the perfect music mix, can elevate your mood. The Mixtape Collection taps into the nostalgia of cassettes and tape decks to crank up the volume of your on-bike style. Just press your foot to the pedal to play, and succumb to the rhythm of the ride.
