Reader and general ass-kicker Ed Rowell sent me this article about Katie Compton last week. Worlds is upon us and Katie represents a great hope for U.S. Cyclocross. She has been an unimaginable force since emerging onto the scene.
Her power is impressive. Her determination admirable.
When I first became interested in cyclocross, I watched the following […]
I did not know Brett Jarolimek but he has touched my life.
I debated about whether or not to write about this. The loss seems so personal - I want to leave it for the people who are suffering the most right now. The people in Brett’s life. The people who are blown apart […]
Just a quick note to let you know that I am in the process of migrating onto my own server so if you notice anything funny over the next few days, that’s the reason why.
Things should be back to normal by Friday and the change is going to enable me to do even more cool […]
It’s true.
I’m stuck at a marketing seminar in LA through Sunday.
Do you realize what this means? Do you realize that I am separated from my bike during ‘cross season? Do you realize that I am actually going to miss a cyclocross race? DO YOU KNOW HOW SAD THIS MAKE ME?

There was a thread in the Cross Crusades forums last week about pre-race nutrition. I neglected to chime in, but I thought I’d share my nutritional preparation strategies here.
My diet is typically about 30% carbs, 30% fat, and 40% protein. If you know your macronutrients well, you’ll notice that it’s a pretty low-carb […]
I haven’t been following any super strict or regimented nutrition plan for the past few months, but I am feeling really great about how I’ve been eating. This is mostly due to the fact that I’ve spent the last 12 months doing some serious work at researching food plans and clean eating. I’ve tried a […]
A quick update to yesterday’s race report, and some video candy.
Turns out I placed 19th in a field of 58 which isn’t as terrible as I’d thought. Hell, I’ll even go so far as to say that I’m happy about it! And in case you’re one of those readers who has no idea […]
Yesterday I wrote about my new Batavus Old Dutch and my attempts to appease my inner-fashion-whore by riding to work like a proper lady in heels and such.
This morning I got back from a grueling boot camp session, downed a delicious Jay Robb Vanilla Protein Shake with some glutamine and frozen blackberries, and went down […]
This year, cyclocross is a completely different ballgame.
I’m confident.
I have a team.
I’m not afraid.
I’m hungry.
No. I’m ravenous.

You may have guessed from the ringing silence around here that I have been up to something. Indeed, I’ve been traveling for the last two weeks - 11 days in New York, 2 days in LA, and now 3 days in San Francisco.
The trip was a mix of business and pleasure, and my schedule has […]
