I wanted to send everyone an update to my fundraising efforts. I have been so overwhelmed by everyone's generosity! Thank you to everyone for your donations. I have raised $2955 thus far! I am so grateful for everyone's support.
With these funds I have purchased my ticket to Sydney and Beijing ($2500), and covered my expenses accrued at Nationals (ticket for coach $406, rental car $200, hotel $140, bike fee $160, my ticket $275). It's amazing how fast the money is spent. Today is the beginning of a new month, I hope to reach my goal of $3000* again this month.
I'm so excited to share with you all that I recently signed Proman, a Professional UCI Track Team. They have given me the opportunity to attend all four World Cup races (Sydney Australia, Nov 30-Dec2, Beijing, China, Dec 7-9, LA, US, Jan 18-20, Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb 15-17). Isn't that awesome!
So, what have I been doing? How's training going? Well, here's what I'm doing this week:
Monday: AM trainer wkt. Flew back from Flagstaff after visiting my sister
Tues: Worked, Lifted at the Y, and went to Yoga, rode the rollers
Wed: Drove up to Burnaby, B.C. (3-4hr drive) to train from 1-4pm (did 3x 10 min behind the electric bike, then 3-4x take a lap) with my coach Jeremy Storie, and several other riders. I will stay in Fort Langely, B.C. at my coaches' house until Sat.
Thurs: AM track session (6 laps on 6 laps off, x6, x3), afternoon lift at gym, PM rollers
Fri: 1-4 track session (working on pacing), 7-9pm Friday Night Racing at Burnaby.
Sat: 3hr Road ride, PM track session working on skills (riding a line, how slow can you go, being comfortable riding close to people, etc). Drive back to Seattle
Sunday: 2 hr road ride, lift at Y. Work 1/2 day.
That's my life in a nutshell. Sydney is only four weeks away! Thank you all for the means to get there! This is my dream, without your help, it would not be possible!
