Great News! and bad news

First the good news... my teammate and good friend Hayden Godfrey won the World Omnium Track Championships!! Congrats Hayden and looking forward to see ya mate! cyclingnews.com has a write up about the race and I am sure Hayden will have some things to say on his blog.

So onto the bad news, I have been fighting a bit of a leg injury since training camp and it has come full fledge in the past week. I saw a doc about it last week and got some PT and thought I would be ok.. but I gave it go this weekend and tried to race. Bad idea... I was ok for a bit but the pain in my leg just kept getting worse and worse and by Saturday night I was struggling to walk normal. So needless to say I had to flag the race on Sunday and back to the doc this morning. They treated me and luckily it is all muscular... but its pretty deep, almost like I got punched by Mike Tyson in the leg... They are telling me they should be able to fix me up pretty quick so hopefully I won't be out long as Twilight and the US Crit series are approaching quickly... we'll see...

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy and Safe St. Patty's Day... I'm sure I will have some fun photos to post after tonight:-)

Winter Wonderland..

I am back from camp now and it was a blast. We have a great bunch of guys and I am really looking forward to the season. I will post some more pics from camp soon but I thought I would share what I came home to first. I had one nice day after getting home and then we got pounded with snow in the past couple days.. went out to shovel the driveway and there was like 2 feet of snow! Its pretty crazy out as people are literally snowed in... Was hoping to get out and do a bit of racing but that idea got shot down pretty quick. But of course its supposed to be like 60 here on Wednesday. Gotta love that Ohio weather!
