a quick report....

The Checkpoint Zero Adventure Race went well and my team, Charbon's Outfitters, kicked some ass out there. We ended up finishing in 11th place in the coed elite division, after racing for 29.5hrs and nailing all but 3 checkpoints. a full race report will come soon - meanwhile, here is one pictures from race photographer Will Ramos. He's got a gazillion pictures that are still being uploaded.



This week has been catching up with food, sleep, and trying to get stuff done around the house, but not being too successful. My friend Jim who has a bike tour company has been hosting one of his Slovenian tour guides, Luka, for the past few days, so it's been fun showing him a bit of the local scene (it's his first trip to America). I think all of us are ready to pack up and head overseas!

I've had two good road rides this week as well. The Tuesday Night Ride wasn't much of a recovery ride for me, as we ended up climbing the mtn. Tonight I joined the Velo Vixens on a practice ride of the Raccoon Mtn Road Race route. I've joined the team too - hey, gotta try something new this year! It was fun and I held on to the front gals, but definitely need to get the whole drafting/paceline thing figured out soon.
