Living the dream!
You did'nt know I was 30?
Ha! I’ll make it short. I got 4th place today in the 30-34 US national cyclocross champs. I’m disappointed I did not win but, I am stoked that I got on the podium and got a medal. Michael, Hulick and I started in about 70th position near the back of the race so, it was […]
Tielt winge!
Found a link to the house I am staying at. I tried to con Brian Vernor into coming over to Belgium with me and he finally got his ticket! He is heading over to stay with Joachim Parbo (Danish national champ) and he did not know the name of the town he was staying at. […]
What did I tell you?
Legs ARE coming around. True to my word, I improved on my result yesterday! I feel like such a super pro bike racer. Sleeping late, getting chauffeured to my races, handing off my jacket at the start line… Awesome. Not much to report from Nathan’s house here in Providence. I raced the Caster’s GP today […]
Freaking out!
A delayed update and new race report! I’m totally freaking out about the trip (that I am now on, no turning back). I crammed all these wheels into my bike box and now it weighs 79 pounds. When Pete dropped me off yesterday morning; the woman at the check in counter informed me that it […]
Getting ready + back to training:
Rode out to the Portland Racing – Veloshop Kruger’s farm cx race yesterday with Brian Ellin and Sacha White. I’ve spent the better part of last week trying to sneak in quality training, beat my cold/allergies and spend time with Pete, between working and getting everything ready to go. The night before the cx race […]
Snow, sick, skip: Kansas city.
I cancelled the UCI Kansas City flight this weekend on the advice of my coach. “You probably should not travel and rest this weekend if you are still sick.” “um. no?” “Look, you want to be healthy for nationals and Belgium.” “oh yeah. um, ok.” It snowed today downtown. Not crazy Boston snow but, enough […]
USGP finals. F'ing sick, again.
I’ve had a bunch of bad luck, bad timing and bad legs so far this cx season. 25th place last Saturday at my first race back since being sick for the last couple weeks. I drove up to Puyallup and stayed with my dad’s family (including my 2 little half brothers, exciting!) on Friday evening. […]
Bring the mud.
Soon I’ll be able to out ride Horner.
Alive?
Just barely. I never want to race at altitude again. Or get a cold. I’ve been laid up (is that the expression?) all week! My USGP weekend in Colorado was total crap. The altitude was killing me and it has been suggested that I was already fighting the killer cold that has kept me in […]
Halloween Cross Crusade.
Ohhh… My legs are so heavy! This was my race yesterday. My teammate Hulick attacked and got the hole shot and gave me a good launching pad. I buried myself the first bunch of laps. I was leading the race and felt really good. In my head I figured “only Decker and Shannon could catch […]
