Life has been rolling along lately and I've now been home for 7 of a solid 14 day stretch. This two week period is the longest continuous time I've spent at home all season...#1 is ready for me to leave.
Here's a short recap of the races... Mt. Hood was gorgeous and I had 1st class accommodations and support which made the racing much easier. I went in with a goal of a top 10 on GC and fell a little short. It was a weird week for results, as I was placing top 10 in field sprints, not so well on climbing days, and had one of my best TT's...maybe I'm a field sprinter now. Philly was awesome. When Cassarole and I embarked on this cycling voyage we discussed how it would change out lives and what we wanted to get out of it. Being the goal oriented person that I am, I picked out two races that I wanted to do; The now defunct San Francisco G.P. & Philly. On June 10th I was able to live out one of my dreams with my mom, sister, #1 fan, and 499,997 other people cheering me on. As we came into the final three small laps I got the chills because the noise from the crowd was so intense. I wish all of our races had a turn out like this. The end result wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but I avoided a crash in the last turn and can't wait for next year. After the race I felt a huge sense of relief and was so stoked; I just wanted to ride around in my kit all day enjoy the accomplishment. When we started this cycling journey 5 and went full time 1.5 years ago , we had no idea where it would take us and how much it would affect our lives but we've rolled with the punches and had a great time. Now it is time determine the next milestones we are aiming for in cycling. Word is that there are some pictures of the race floating around. I'll try to find some and post them here shortly.
Oh dude, on a side note, I received my 10 year high school reunion packet in the mail...man I'm getting old.

No that's what I call "putting the beat down" on the Pro Tour and D2 teams.
