Pics from Break

In reverse order: well nevermind what's going on here. I am excited to race again and have dressed up the night before the big day!


I am obviously quite excited here, as you can see by my child-like expression. Vittoria Open Tubular Pave's . Marvellous.


True spring classic grit in an american style criterium, complete with standing water, a snaking climb, strong winds, dodgy riding etc. Pulled down 2nd in the first race of the season. Thanks Mike and Emma for sticking around to watch in the wet and the drear. Well Emma really had no choice as we were going to ride back to school together. But she did have the car keys.


Glamorous VO2 max testing in the UofI Hospital. I was encouraged repeatedly to just "keep pushing, just a little more, keep pedaling," and that I was "doing great."


With the expert, Dr. Doug Hornick (Emma's dad, he's a pulmonary specialist and doesnt appreciate his daughter smoking the hookah).
