Riding outside...

SO I have ben getting to ride outside. Sat and Sunday I met up with the group rides, until I was so congested I could not breath, so I went home. It was pretty chilly though those days. I am about to go take a ride, in the amazing weather. so so nice! Hopefully I will feel better today than the past couple days. I was lonely not being able to go to pace bend with the rest of the team. Thy kept me a little occupied with text messges hear and there. So, depending on how I am feeling, I plan on doing Bar -H, a mountain bike race, this weekend. If I get to do the race it will be my first race as an expert. Real racing! I am excited. We will see....

Corey- hope you feel better!

Todays training: couple hours in this lovely weather!

Sorry it has been so long. I don't even think I have blogged since camp. Camp was a lot of fun, meeting the few people I hadn't met, hanging out, riding, getting new things! It was amazing. And this past weekend we were in AZ for Valley of the Sun. My first road race out of Texas, definatly different than texas racing. My best result was 5th in the Crit. Now I forsure have enough points to upgrade. Yay. .. and...Bad news.. I am sick again. hopefully I will get well before this weekend so I can race Pace Bend. I just feel like, crap, cant breathe, bearly have a voice... no bueno. ...

wow..

SO we got back sunday from New Braunfels. The road race did not go very well, I got 12th. THats how is goes, i guess. But I am excited for this weekend. Everyone arrives today for team camp. THose of us who will be here in time, we are eating at parkers tonight. We got all our new clothes and stuff yesterday. THey look amazing, and everyone said so at the ride last night. I can't wait to meet everyone else, hang out, and ride. And get all this started! I am so thankful to have this opportunity ride with such good riders, having a new bike and equipment, having the support we do(thanks brad, and the other sponsors), and for nathan to put so much time and effort into making it all work.

TOdays Training: a couple hours

I thought it was bad that I crashed, but then I got shot in the foot.

Well, today what the curcuit race for Tour of New Braunfels. Good course and nice weather. Than I had my first road crash. Was just right behind the two girls who went down, no way of getting around it. Just slid a few few and whip my head and back down to the ground. Got up, shook out the stars, figured out which bike was mine, got on my bike, realized my chain was off when I couldn't go anywhere, fixed my chain,  and bent my derailleur(thats how austin said it was spelled) hanger back in "place" and spend off.. Did not think I could catch back on, but I DID! with about 3 laps to go. It finished in a sprint and I got second, by a half of bike length. awww... so maybe I will win tomorrow!  I'll let you know. And so when I thought no one read our blogs, a girl in the race today told me she liked my blog.... WOW! how exciting..
