I left bright and sunny California at the end of February. I arrived in Asheville just in time to celebrate my parents 50th birthdays. I had a chance to catch up with most of my family as well. My brother Sam and his girlfriend Trish are expecting a baby girl April 11, so I am always excited to have a chance to see my niece growing!
The next morning I woke up to six inches of snow, so I put the running shoes on for a couple days. Last weekend I raced the Snake Creek Time Trial in Dalton GA. I won the race in 3 hours and 13 minutes and set a course record. Sam won and set a course record as well. His time was 2 hours 36 minutes. Fast! We both came away with some cash, confidence and smiles. It was fun getting back to my roots.
The day after the race I was packing for team camp in Boulder Colorado. Camp was a success even though it was freezing cold! I am turning into a winter wimp for sure. I am now getting ready to head back to Asheville for one week before I race the Pan-Am championships in Santiago Chile. I will post some new photos as soon as I figure out why my computer won’t let me! I hope spring is inspiring everyone. Spring is a good time to do a little cleanse for your body. I have been drinking lots of organic apple cider vinegar whenever I see it in the fridge. It keeps your body alkaline and your muscles supple. Cheers!
