Tornado Cancels Race


My first race of the summer was cancelled due to a tornado. The Pelican Fest Triathlon is a fun sprint race up in Windsor Colorado. Windsor was hit hard today and the race is a no go...bummer all around. I'll probably replace the race with an intense series of workouts that day to simulate a race effort. Worlds is 3 weeks out and it's time to pick up the intensity!

Back in Training

School is over, the weather is starting to turn to Summer. I've got nothing to do but train full time and occasionally work at the bike shop. My plans for the summer are to train as much as possible, work enough to pay the bills, and design and build my own carbon fiber disc wheels and aerobars. I'll have more updates on each front as news comes. My racing schedule is already set, but my fitness is pretty pathetic, given the lack of training over the past 9 months.
