Next Race: Xterra Southeast Championship-Pelham AL-Jun 11

Pelham, Alabama here I come. Shoulder is feeling like I can race. I've been going crazy not being able to mountain bike or swim, but I just started swimming again and will begin mountain biking this weekend! Race Details

Xterra West Championship Blues-Temecula CA

Ok, wow, I've got the blues. While I've been nursing my shoulder back to health, my main focus race has come and gone without me. Besides Nationals, this is the most competitive Xterra, and I was really looking forward to a Championship distance race. Competitors from my area did really well; congratulations Emma 2nd, Ross 5th & Conrad 1st. Way to go! I just plain ol' miss racing. I've just been able to start swimming again and I'm going to try a mountain bike ride this weekend.

A Temporary Off-Road Racing Setback

OK, reality sets in. April 15th I went over the bars while mtn bike training in Minden, NV. Shoulder has been acting up. Haven't been swimming or mtn biking since. Had to skip Xterra Castaic, and my racing schedule is up in the air now. After coming off such a good race in Folsom, it's pretty depressing. Upside is I've had more time for the recent work crunch. I guess some things happen for a reason. Blog time too.
