UVU Classic - We Killed IT!!!

Amber and I killed it today!  We decided to take the break on the hill climb - we were a little worried we wouldn't be able to hold it for the remaining 35 miles - but we did!  Amber pulled me up and with my killer descent we nailed it all the way to the finish.  Amber took the 1 and I came in right behind her with the 2 - finishing 6 minutes ahead of the next woman.  It was such a fantastic race and a great come back from last weekends race.  It gave us the confidence we need for a fantastic season this year.

Now we can't wait for Tour del Sol this coming weekend!

San Dimas - what was I thinking?

This was a really tough race - I am not sure I knew what I was getting myself into.  I got to race with some of the strongest most amazing women in the World - so super cool.  I gained some incredible experience with the pros and was humbled a bit.  I know what I have to work for now though and will go back next year even stronger.

I am getting very excited for this upcoming season.  I have a lot of races planned and can't wait to see how well I can do.

At least I look legit - I am finishing with 4 Pros in this pic.

Gotta Bring my A Game

Today I will be doing another Crit.  It looks like there may be only 2 girls today racing with the boys.  I have got to really stay strong and stay in the group today! 

I Survived

Well I survived - I didn't last as long in the group as I wanted to - they were going so fast.  But me and the girls pacelined together and finished.  This is going to get me so strong though - pushing myself will be fantastic.  Next week I can only do better.

Game On! Season Starts Today!

Well the day has finally arrived!  Today is my first race.  It is more a practice race for me than anything though.  I will be doing the RMR Crit Race today  racing against the boys - in the B flight!  This will be great practice to prepare me for the season.

My first real race is in 2 weeks.  San Dimas Stage Race in California.  As of right now there are 62 women registered - I will be racing the Pro 1, 2, 3 Cat.  Last year there were 100 women and more than 80% of them are pros!  I have been training hard though and hope to just to my absolute best.

I am so excited to start racing!!!
