Yup. That's definitely a 3 inch icicle on my bottom bracket. And, nope, that front derailleur definitely wasn't working by the end of this training ride!Good'ay folks.
Just a short update from the sunny streets of Durango, Colorado...well, no news is good news, right? Training and school have managed to keep me out of jail for the last couple weeks. I've put in some real quality workouts on the ol' Tarmac (literally, -on- the -old- tarmac!). It's been absolutely refreshing to dig deep into the depths of my quadriceps after a long winter of low intensity. My program (by Bruce Hendler) is keeping me stimulated on the streets while the snow blankets all of the local trails. Unfortunately, I missed the registration deadline for Valley of the Sun, so I didn't get to partake in the early season sufferfest! A bummer, indeed, but everything worked out in the end - I wound up with a few hours of demolition work that allowed me to relieve some tension and pay the bills!
This was a big week in my professional cycling career, as I received my first 'real' sponsorship offer. I am truly excited to accept a grassroots sponsorship from Loeka Clothing (http://www.loeka.com). I absolutely believe in Loeka's philosophy of building communities of female riders (and solving problems with liquor!). They are a conscious and creative company with an entire line of hip and funky mountain bike clothing for women! A special thanks to Shawn Embree of Embree Agency (http://www.embree-agency.com) for helping to put me out there!
Well, collegiate season will be upon us soon, so I'm gettin' the ol' TT bike fit on Thursday and starting to do some serious training with the other FLC chicas this week. After all, we have a number ONE national title to defend!
