You've got MAIL

I got something in the mail today:

It's been a while since I won the Heartland Race Series down in KS/MO
and since they canceled the last race because of rain, I had never gotten my medal for the overall win.
Well, I emailed them and wonders DO happen: I got mine in the mail today, yeah!!!!


A great motivator for this year's season.

2007 MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE SERIES CHAMPIONSHIPS

Last night we had our 2nd ANNUAL BIKE BASH to celebrate the
2007 Mountain and Road Racing Season.

I didn't do much road racing but I did my fair share of MTB racing.

One Race Series a raced in was the
PSYCOWPATH NEBRASKA MTB SERIES
and last night they awarded the winners...


I won the Beginner Women's Class:


Congratulations to all my fellow racers out there to a great season.

Thanks to everybody who helped putting up all those wonderful races!

And THANKS to Marc for all his help with the training and coaching. You were a HUGE help!!

And finally I want to thank MARTIN:
I could have not done this without you! Your help, love and support means the world to me!!

Tour de Farce

Michael Rasmussen got fired from his Team Rabobank and got pulled from the Tour.
For anyone who didn't know. He was in the yellow jersey (the leader)

He lied about his whereabouts before the Tour to get around doping tests....

I do not understand how these knuckle-heads think they can get away with that kind of BS.

Who is next....??

Now cute Contador is the leader but I bet that team order will force him to give the lead to Levi Leipheimer. Just wait and see...

On a personal and much more fun note: I went down to Lincoln tonight to ride with my team.
teamFIRE It was a lot of fun. Thanks guys! I finally got to meet some more of the riders and I still think it is a great and fun group and I am glad to be part of it:)

Manawa minus 12 hours 15 minutes

I am getting in the RACE MODE or is it MOOD...whatever it is. Manawa makes me nervous. On one hand it is an easy course, super fast and FUN on the other hand there are some technical sections "thrown" in there that can give a rider like me nightmares...

I KNOW, I have to race AS FAST AS I CAN.

I KNOW, I CAN RACE FAST.

Tomorrow at 10 am I just have to tell my body to go F A S T !!!!

HOW to do that, I am not really sure....


The last races, I had good ones and slow ones and I haven't figured out yet, how to push that "speed button".
But, I am getting aware of it and I think that is the first step in the right direction!
The "fighter" in me is awaken and I will go for it tomorrow.Put the pedal to the medal and push HARD.One lap in Zone 5a...that is only in the 170ies. That's easy!!


Mein Kampfgeist ist erwacht

und ich werde mir von niemanden

meinen ersten Platz wegnehmen lassen.
Die Begziege wird gewinnen:))
