Yummy Banana-Cacao Muffins
Cleaning up the kitchen after dinner tonight, an extremely rare occasion, I noticed we had a bunch of very ripe organic bananas. Had they not been the pricey organic variety, I would have just fed them to the hens, but these ones…I had to make good use of them. Since it’s only two more weeks […]

XTERRA goes Duathlon
June 14, 2013
…but it definitely was not by choice. Tropical Storm Andrea saturated the race course for days before the XTERRA East Championship. I flew in early Friday morning, with intentions of biking and swimming the course, but the non-stop rain had started on Thursday and the trail system was officially closed. I decided to go shopping […]

XTERRA SE Champs
May 24, 2013
Another 1600+ mi weekend (of driving that is) is in the bag. This time it was for the XTERRA Southeast Championship in Pelham, Alabama, combined with the US Cup East #5 XC mountain bike race in Conyers, GA. I’d never been to Alabama, much less Oak Mountain State Park, home to the famous Bump N Grind […]

Cohutta 100
April 30, 2013
Wanted to do a race report from this years Cohutta 100 race, decided to work of my draft from last years Cohutta. When I opened it, I found the following text (a message I had send to my Odyssey AR teammates post race): “Got 9/27. Crazy tough course. They added more single track and 2,000 […]

FSC MTB Series ’12
December 15, 2012
Last Sunday wrapped up the Gone Riding Florida State Championship mountain biking series, a nine race series which brings out the best riders across the state. I know it may be hard for some to believe, but Florida produces loads of outstanding mountain bikers and that makes for excellent competition year round, especially during the Fall with […]

Vista View 360
March 13, 2012
It was a tossup between the Vista View run and the 6th and final race of the Gone Riding Coconut Cup mountain bike series. I pre-rode the course at Halpatiokee in Stuart on Saturday. They had a great course set up which made for a tough debate as to what to do Sunday, especially since […]

I was sooo excited when Andy and Shane, two of my OdysseyAR / ImOnPoint.org teammates, told me they wanted to travel south from Virginia and kick off our 2012 race season at Pangea Adventure Racing’s Florida Sunshine Sea to Sea 72 Hour Adventure Race. I promised the guys Pangea would put on a superb event, […]

Swiftwick Saves
February 1, 2012
I was only about 20 minutes into my ride at Markham when I crashed pretty hard. I let my wheel twist on a drop and said “uh oh” as I went over my bars in slow-mo. When I got up my elbow was throbbing! Finishing out the trail, I could feel it jiggling around with […]

Coconut Cup #4 – Oleta
January 22, 2012
Ok, Ok. So I got 1st Place out of 1 in the Women’s XC1 class today. Oleta is always a brutal course…and you could tell by how many racers were missing. Every time you ride those trails more than 20 mi, your whole body aches. It’s really hard to get a flow on the […]

12 Hrs of Amelia
January 12, 2012
12 Hours of Amelia – Jan 7, 2012 I had no idea how things would turn out this race. I’d been sick for over a week prior and hadn’t been on my mountain bike since FSC #9 Santos on Dec 11th. No matter how much I coughed or spat up mucus prior to race start, everyone […]
