The new season is fast approaching and I have been busy training and getting ready. This season will be a lot different than past seasons I have had. With this only being my second year of training with a proper base, my season will be a lot more slow starting than last year, mainly because [...]
Now that I am back to the United States, I wanted to take a look back on my travels and reflect on some of the things that I encountered while I was there. When people heard that I was going to Belgium, they warned me about how mentally taxing it would be [...]
Since I have had a break of a week with no racing, I decided it would be really fun to travel a bit while I have the opportunity. Craig Richey and I were trying to figure out where we would got for 4 days and we settled on London. The trip was made pretty easy [...]
