Catching up

It’s been another long gap since my last blog update. I think I’ve had three races since the last update. The first one was Bump, then two SERC races Jackson and Clemson.

Jackson was my most successful race, which I placed second! It ended up being a super fast course and was easy to keep a good pace.

Clemson, let’s just say if your travel plans sound like a bad idea on paper, they are not going to magically turn into a good idea. I had to work the Saturday before Clemson, so I didn’t even start my journey until about 1:30 PM, and then I had a few stops including Chattanooga to pick up Emily, and Knoxville to pick up Jeff. The total drive was probably 7 hours! Not cool, not good for legs either! And, it totally showed during my race. I won’t be doing that again.

Other news, I have a few new toys including a new set of mavic crossmax wheels that totally rock and a powertap, thanks to Jeff for hooking me up!!!

Now that I have a powertap, I am going to start a real training regimen! Vantaggio is one of our main team sponsors, which everyone probably already knows. Vantaggio coaches consist of Kym and Mark Fasczewski. Kym is the Grace Law team manager, team member, and now my awesome coach!! I’m really excited to work with such a great coach!

Although the mountain bike reason is really almost over, two more SERC races! Wow! I am going to be racing cyclocross this fall!
