So, I haven’t posted in forever. yeah, yeah. I’ve been busy and pretty much not at home..or in Eugene, or anywhere really. I’ve done a few races, which went okay. OBRA crit champs at Albany was the most recent race. It was a blast and some of the best team work I’ve ever been a part of. The whole entire race was pretty high paced, which I thought was pretty awesome! There are so many fast nd talented Oregon women racers out there and I was excited that so many came out for crit champs. Our team made our shares of attacks and chases. Toward the end Lisa attacked hard and went off the front, causing the pack to chase. During the last 2 laps, Jill attacked with Pam and I on her wheel, and kept the pace high, peeling off with one lap to go, where I began my lead out. I exploded around the last corner and sent Pam on her way. Pam did an amazing sprint and almost got the win! We only missed it by 1/4 of a wheel. Pam’s shorts had caught on her seat when she threw the bike…darn shorts!!!! Anyway, it was an awesome race for us as a whole with a lot of hard work from all of us!
Other than that, things have been going well. I’m tired, but my legs are feeling good. I’m hitting new peak powers and still working my self pretty hard. Almost the end of the season, which is pretty exciting!
In other areas of life (oh, you mean there are other things to think about besides cycling???) I recently obtained a real job! I will soon be starting a job in Portland, working 40 hours a week. I”m actually really glad I’m starting right now, so I can get used to the job and commuting and all that stuff before I have to worry about being really disciplined in my training time. It’ll be good! So, now comes the issue of finding a place to live. For the mean time, Chris and I will be staying at friends’ houses and stuff. We’ll probably get all moved in within a few weeks, but that takes a little $$$$. Anyway, I’m excited about having a good job! Hopefully one will come around for Chris.
Anyway, Eugene celebration is coming up this next week and it should be a good race. One of the last of the year! Crazy how fast this summer has gone.
That’s about it. I’m boring today
