HAPPY EASTER !

THE NEED TO VENT ABOUT MY TRAINING AND RIDING

I have only been biking a few years. This is the first year that I have a coach. I am working with Kathy Sherwin, she is awesome to work with. It is sometimes hard to work in riding with being a mom, doing home-schooling with Alicia, running my own screen printing business and everything else that you need to keep a household running. She had been great in being able to work my training schedule with my everyday life. I am aiming for cyclocross season and part of my training is to do some mountain bike races. I am very inexperienced at mountain biking, so I am very intimidated about doing technical stuff. Which is why I ended up in a creek at last weeks race. I also have a long way to work my endurance. I just don't feel like I just can't go as fast as everyone else. I do feel like that I am doing better, but I just am not were I would like to be. I am hoping as the season continues I will feel more comfortable riding technical stuff and to be able to keep up a bit more.

MORE TEAM RELAY PICTURES

This race did not go exactly as I would have wanted. I ended up in one of the small creeks, it happened because I did not commit to riding through it and chickened out at the last minute. I had a hard time riding most of the technical stuff after this. I lost my number also. I found my number and it was in the water of all place.

Making the best of riding the trainer.

Riding the trainer indoors during the winter really stinks, but Alicia and I try to have a good time by listening to our ipods and being goofy. Well, I am actually the one being goofy so she forgets about complaining so much.

The cats were pretty interested in the bikes for a short time.

Spring is finally here!
