Now that I've got your attention....

Look at Mike's new car


And look who he let drive it to work to show off to her friends on the FIRST DAY! I know, I know..he's the best!!

So, this is what happens if you SAVE your money?!! Hmmm, do they have and $20 cars, cause that's what I have in MY savings!! Oh well, at least I got to drive it one day...he has to go to work tomorrow, I'm going to a bike race.....he can keep the car!! (But let me drive it occasionally...please!!)

Rockin Roswell!

HOTLanta, oohwee...ok so it was like mid 80s...but that warm up was brutal!

So, the race...good, seemed faster, the hill was more significant...and it was clear Cheerwine wanted to keep it together...Chrissy chased everything down...I got second on 2 primes, that's AWESOME!! I have so much energy, I love waisting it...so I decided to make a few lame moves on the hill, or in corners, just to burn all my extra matches..and it worked awesome, by the end of the race, I was too toasted (or that was my excuse) I watched my tea mate fend for herself in the sprint!

Shontelle, poor thing, was subject to my whining, or yelling, some may call it....'SHONTELLE!!!', every time I was rocketing to the back....and on the like 3rd time, she was like, "I"M RIGHT HERE!!!"...sorry Shontelle, Nicole taught me bad habits of just screaming profusely at will in the middle of races (and it's still her fault)...I wont do that any more PROMISE! But Shontelle had said before the race she wanted to be more aggressive, and that she did. She was in multiple moves, helped cover several things...I hope she was pleased..oh yea and she got 7th...

Julia, really step up her game today (or yesterday)....she was the only person on our team that thought it wasn't faster...but whatever she came to the front multiple times, and was there w/ me at the finish!! Nice job girl, way to kiss that stem with a smile!!

So, the final results...Tina, Sara Caravella, Laura Van Gilder, Aarons, dont remember, dont remember, the Louisiana Pocket Rocket Shontelle Gauthier!!

Great times, good race, beautiful town, great weather...what else is there in life!! Soak it up!!

Athen's Twilight!!

Team UltraLink is ON THE MAP!

Yea, I love racing my bike...in circles, w/ lots of tight corners, at dusk, on bumpy roads, with tons of college age kids screaming! Thanks Athens for having such a great race! Can you tell, I did well?? I'm very excited, I had a great day. Took 5 primes, and 5th...got into the winning break...with Katherine Carroll, Chrissy Ruiter, Iona Winters, a rider from Austin, and me...w/ 12 laps to go. It was good! Fun being in a break w/ 2 former teammates, who I know and trust! Fun making money! And now know how much I need to work on finishing!

Chrissy had a perfect move on the back side on the last lap...jumped way earlier than I expected...and I was so focused on Kat, I missed the initial jump, then lost confidence, and never got on a wheel...and ended 5th out of 5...arrggghhh, lesson learned! I've got 8 more crits to work on that!!

Shontell was 10th, 5th in the bunch sprint!! I guess 5 was our number today!! Julia worked her ass off, never surrendered, and had fun in the pack!! It was a great first race for Team UltraLink, I'm so excited about this team.....the Karma is good!!

We also had Alexis Axtrodinare doing all the managerial work, and keeping Shontell calm...she's awesome, I wish she didn't have to go back to work next week, same for Julia...we're having a great time...work smirk!

Ok, it's 12:30am...I should try to calm down! Great race Kat and Chrissy...It was awesome to be in a break w/ you guys....next time I'll give you a better run for your money in the finish...great move Chrissy!! And Kat you are an animal..you made that race, you did so much work, and won...Nice job!!

Ok, beddie bye time
