2020, What a year. Nothing represents the ups and downs of the year like my Strava account. I was plodding along, slugging it in the gym. After signing onto Tesseract a few months earlier, racing (and doing well) in a few CL1 track races, I was on track to get a start at one of…
Enthusiastic race filler! That’s what I am, and I am damn proud of that. After I won nationals last year, I “retired*”. To anyone around me, we all know that this is a joke. I’m not finished, I’m not done, I’m not going to rack the bike. This was the beginning of my ‘Victory lap…
It started when I had an injury. Like all my good stories, each adventure always starts with something going wrong. My ankle wasn’t playing gymnastics with me so i started swimming. my shoulder decided to dislocate in the surf, so i started speed skating. I did my ankle once again, but i stuck to the…
I’ve been talking about retirement. But really who am I kidding? I love to race. I’m not going to retire; I’m going to keep going until the stage manager with the hook pulls me off. And even then I won’t go easy. Did I mention I love racing. ITS is a race that acts…
Week 16 was going to be my scan. Week 17 was going to be team states. Week 18 is going to be my comeback! I had my surgery, I followed instructions, I’ve been feeling great, and my only setback has been getting cleared to get back into things. Last week after another re-schedule of my…

We are already off to a fantastic start. The Sprint GP saw sprinters, non-sprinters, new racers and old veterans take to the…
If I set myself these super high un-realistic goals am I setting my self up for failure or success. I’m a big dreamer, I set big goals. My friends and family know when I set my mind to something, nothing will stop me from achieving. 2016 it’s the year of the J.O.B! After Achieving my…
Years ago, when I was a little cross curious, Cyclocross Newcastle held this mythical race. There was mud. At this point, I was racing fixie cross, and hadn’t fully committed. After that race, and the subsequent legend status of that day, I decided cross was something I wanted to get involved in. Cyclocross or…
Wow another winter has come and gone. It’s always sad when The summer track season ends, but mostly because summer is over, but the track season doesn’t actually end. I’ve now been racing RAW for 4 seasons. I made my debut in 2011. I was encouraged to race by my speed skating coach. She said…
