Nothing like a good 90′s reference. Last night, LETC stormed Cypress Mountain for a light bike ride up the hill and it made me realize something. We did the same ride almost a year ago to the day and I remember being very excited about the challenge of climbing the mountain and testing myself. I …

Thank You!
I’ll save the reace report for tomorrow but just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who braved the cold weather this morning (although it did turn nicer) and came to cheer me on at the World Championships. I didn’t get to see you many of you in person but be assured I …

Race Report – North Shore Sprint
Let’s get it out of the way, I finished the race. Thank goodness for a warm indoor pool. I was excited going into the race because it was my first chance to race on a course I had done last year and see how far I’ve come in a year. Last year at this race …

What The &%*$?
Yes, snow in (late) March. Just when you thought it was safe to go outdoors for rides. Luckily I spent my morning in the pool and the rest of the day at work (unfortunately Spring Break is almost over). Another change to my race schedule (not that you could see it since I haven’t got …
