Nutrition Update

All is well in the training universe; feelin' stronger, getting fitter, and having more fun. I'm having to start to eat greater quantities of food nowadays though. This isn't a terrible thing because I certainly love food!! I'm very excited this week because the order from Skratch Labs arrived; their products are absolutely awesome! Metal tin is ballin' outa ' control!

New RUBBER

Thanks so much Maxxis for hookin' me up with this kick-butt set of rubbers. I can't wait to hit the trail with these!! And thanks to Sports Garage helping me set them up tubeless with, of course, Stan's NO-Tubes Sealant and system.

Koppenberg Boulder (1st Race)

This race was sort of a spur of the moment thing for me. I was looking around online, and I'd been getting sick of training without any racing. But as a kickoff to the season it was a great success; I was able to hang with the pack, I rode a strong constant pace, and I actually passed some people. Maxxis tires kept me glued to the gravel roads and Sports Garage gave me moral support out there today. Of course Skratch Labs kept me well fueled. My result of 29th place out of 44 is not to be taken in a bad way, this result aided by a crash on the first lap in front of me showed me that I could still hang in there and definitely improve throughout this year!

Final Climb up the Koppenberg (feeling stoked)

New Season, New Training, New Outlook

Got the new schedule set for 2012. It all starts this Saturday in Superior CO at the Koppenberg. Lets hope the training plan set up by Inigo San Millan has truly helped. First MTB is in a couple of weeks at Kurt Gowdy. I can't wait to get out and race on my new bike, with new tires courtesy of Maxxis, and new brakes courtesy of Formula. Thanks to everyone so far whom has helped me this year to date, it means so much. Especially Sports Garage for there unparalleled support they've provided me. Lets make it an amazing season this year, 2012!!
