Training Done
After recovering from the three week trip for a few days coach Lance had right back into more aerobic base training as it three weeks of racing means very little training. We had about two weeks to get some good mileage in as well as continuing to work on pushing threshold endurance. We still have some building blocks to work …
Mission accomplished
The whole goal of racing three weekends in a row all over the world was to get my ranking back up after an 18month hiatus due to injury. I need my ranking up so I can get into World Cups and World Championship Series events that get me qualified for the Olympics. I just got the email that I am …

Even drinking 1.5 liters on the bike even having a frozen visor and wristbands waiting for me in transition didn’t alleviate the stress for long. All …
Heading to race #2 … #3 … and #4 all in a row.
Now that my first race is done I am on the points hunt to get back on Olympic qualifying. First Continental Cup race this weekend is in Ixtapa, Mexico, then over to Amakusa, Japan then Weihai, China to finish off the world wind trip in three weeks. Last time I did a trip like this was to qualify for Athens …
