WINTER

Spinning while the white stuff makes me stay inside.

Welcome Home

Today was the first day that I could sleep in my own bed and sleep in. Man it was nice. The trip to Colorado was amazing!!! I finished 5Th in my age group and got a podium. Those medals where sick. I'm glad to be home but cant wait for the trip next year. I also have to give a big shot out the Trixie and Gus P. for the support. I love them so much. Best trip ever.

Lighter and Faster

Today I just got the medal out of the mouth. Now that I wont be weighed down anymore from all that extra medal, I should be faster. At least I hope!

Training

Wednesday I went on the Expo group ride which was a fun ride. I was planning on riding there and riding back but didn't make it all the way back. today i rode to work and home. All together was right around 50 miles.Tomorrow I'm going out to ride mtb with Theo. Should be fun and sore!

Subaru Cup=Amazing

The Subaru Cup was great. I finisher 4th in the xc race and 2nd in the omnium! Also found out I qualified for nationals which means I have to start training harder. Today I did a recovery ride and tomorrow hopefully a intense ride.

Strike Three Your Out

As the day started, I was planning on doing a six hour duo with Keaton. As we started driving we didn't feel like we where going to make it on time. As we got to John Muir we set up and hung out. As the start of the race kicked off i felt like I was doing good and was in mid pack. After a couple miles out I dropped my chain and lost all my momentum and had to let about seven people by. As strike one started to sink in to me I was riding more and more out of control. Of course I drop my chain again and strike two plays even a bigger role. Now I have dug my self into a hole and of course when i was descending my chain snaps and whips the back of my leg. Of course strike three and your out. As i was walking the next three miles the bike patrol tryed helping out and made it even worse but they did show me a easier way to get back.
I'm just glad that it was the Subaru cup.

FINALLY

Finally got out on the new Salsa Moto Rapido today. Loved it. Only down side is making it one by nine and dropping the chain here and there. Keaton dropped his chain almost every descent. Not to cool but good ride.
