<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am sure most people are ready for some warm weather! I heard next week the weather will be back in the 60's! Last week, we got a lot a good riding outside. Fortunately, Lonie and I don't mind riding on the trainer when it is not nice out. The trainer is especially great for intervals and just generally "killing yourself." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lonie and I are glad to be biking again. Looking back, we did not start biking until May last year. It is a lot more fun to race when you are in shape for it. Lonie and I plan are racing a few of the series races and then see what races pop up this summer. I love the summer, warm weather and sunny days! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We went to Arizona over spring break! I absolutely love the mountains. They are so pretty and I never get tired of looking at palm trees. We visited Lonie's parents who live in Mesa. We went hiking in the Tonto National Forest and the Usery Mountains. We did not bike this time, but next time for sure. I was bummed to come home to Minnesota, it snowed the day we flew home. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of snow....I recently found out that the 2015 National Snow Shoe Race will be in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. <a href="http://chippewaoffroad.org/2014/corba-hosting-2015-u-s-national-snowshoe-championships" target="_blank">http://chippewaoffroad.org/2014/corba-hosting-2015-u-s-national-snowshoe-championships</a>. My dad and I did the 2011 Snow Shoe Nationals in Cable, Wisconsin. I placed 12th out of 43 women and 3rd in my age. I was very happy with this result, my second ever snow shoe race. I will do a blog post at the end of the summer about training for snow shoe racing. </span><br />

This is me in 2002 after winning the Catalina Island Marathon. Catalina Island is located off the coast of California and it is an off-road marathon. The total elevation gain was 4,310 feet, hardest race I have ever done. Here is a fun article from Multisports.Com <a href="http://www.multisports.com/news/1016524800.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.multisports.com/news/1016524800.shtml</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking back over the past 12 years of racing and working out, I realized that lifting weights is just as important as building your engine. Proud to say, my mom taught me how to bench press in 9th grade. I was so weak back then, I could barely lift the 45 pound bar. Then I played soccer at the University of Louisville in 1995 and we <i style="font-weight: bold;">had </i> to lift weights. I only played one year of college soccer and then tore my ACL,MCL, and meniscus in 1997. I bet that would not have happened if I had been lifting weights for a longer duration of time to strengthen my legs and improve my muscle imbalances. I realize now how <i style="font-weight: bold;">"fringe"</i> of an athlete I was. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In 2000 I moved to California and started running. When I mean I started running, I <i style="font-weight: bold;">mean I started "over doing it running." </i>I had the mentality that more was better and <i style="font-weight: bold;">I never lifted weights. </i>I ran an average 8 miles per day, 12 miles on Saturday, and 16 miles on Sunday. Wow, what a mistake! I couldn't even do 10 pushups, I could not jump or sprint at all. Running long distance decreased my functional movement efficiency which you truly need in life! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In 2003, I was running at the "Camp Pendelton Mud Run," and tore my meniscus again. I then moved back to Minnesota in 2004 and started doing triathlons. When I was running and doing triathlons, I had a weak posterior chain, poor flexibility, poor power, poor muscle mass, and poor anaerobic capacity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thank goodness, I ran into Lonie (my now husband) and we started dating. He has been lifting his whole life, but I was still not convinced that <i style="font-weight: bold;">I </i> should be lifting as well. It wasn't until 2010 that I started lifting like I should. Now, after lifting for 4 years consistently, I have never felt better!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last year we joined a Cross Fit gym where we learned how to do perform the Olympic Lifts. The Oly's would be the clean/jerk and the snatch. If you have never tried Cross Fit, it is addicting. The competition between yourself and other people in your class is amazing! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lonie liked olympic lifting so much, that he went and got his Cross Fit Level I Certification and his USA Weightlifting Sports Performance Coach Certification (USAW). Since Lonie has all this knowledge from his college degree in Physical Education/Fitness/ and Wellness and recent certifications, we decided to lift on our own. Now we are incorporating lifting and biking! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We typically bike 5 days per week and lift weights 3-4 times per week. Once the race season starts, we lift 1-2 times per week. Lifting has done so many great things for me. Here is a list of the advantages of weight lifting:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Increased posterior chain</li>
<li>Increased lean muscle mass</li>
<li>Reduced cortisol</li>
<li>Gained the ability to jump again</li>
<li>Reduced muscle imbalances </li>
<li>Reduced my chance of injuries</li>
<li>Increased power out </li>
<li>Longevity in the sports</li>
<li>Eliminated knee pain through weight lifting</li>
<li><b><i>Reduced chance of ending up in a nursing home</i></b>!!! </li>
<li><b><i>But, beware you must recover from all workouts! </i></b></li>
<li>LOTS OF FUN!!!!</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
This is me at a Cross Fit gym last May dead lifting 243 pounds for a one rep max. <b><i>I never could have done this in 2002-2010. </i></b>Lifting heavy weights improves your speed and power. Don't worry women, you won't <i style="font-weight: bold;">get big! </i>You will build beautiful, strong muscles that you should be proud of! Dead lifting is crucial to increase strength in your posterior chain. Cyclists are quad-dominant, so it is imperative to work on your posterior chain as well! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> We have not visited our blog forever. So, now we are back! It has been entertaining following other peoples blogs about winter biking. Maybe one day it will be an Olympic sport? Curling or Biking? I choose biking. We don't winter bike like our brother Larry Sauber. He enjoys the winter fat biking a ton! He is always out ripping it up. Keep it up Lar! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We have been lifting weights (X fit) and biking inside and snowshoeing on occasion. It was fun this morning watching 2014 Olympics on the trainer while doing a watt test while the speed skaters were giving it their all as well. Maybe not an Olympian, but still striving to get after it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I remember watching the 1984 summer Olympics, I was fourteen year old kid. After watching the track and field athletes I would go out side and attempt to run down the street as fast as I could! I thought I could do that one day! However, I never became an Olympian, but the Olympic spirit is still burning today. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Give or take a few months I'll be 44 years old. So, I think it's been close to 30 years of working out for me. I feel better now then I ever have. I think the key to training and racing is to work out gradually and consistently. Many athletes will take it over the edge and experience burn out. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">to be continued.. thanks for reading! </span><br />

We are excited to do a little racing at Buck Hill this Thursday! Under construction since last October. We feel the need to race our mountain bikes! GO BIG!<br />

Lonie and I raced the 50 miler this past Saturday. One word to describe this race, "Superb!" This was a fundraiser for MORC (Minnesota Off Road Cyclists). The race was a mix of snow mobile trails, paved roads, and single track. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A police car lead out the race through the town of Ironton-Crosby. We then hit the snow mobile trials going about 20 miles per hour. Everyone was drafting and having fun! All of a sudden, a guy swerved at something, and down we went! It was like watching "dominoes" fall! Lonie and I both went flying. My guardian angel (another guy racing) caught me from behind and put me back on the ground. Pretty amazing, that no one got seriously hurt!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From them on, it was race on! The single track is a made of small little pieces of iron ore and will leave your body and bike with a beautiful "spray tan!" There were burms, bridges, and fast downhills. My favorite climb was "Miners Mountain." Miners Mountain overlooks crystal-blue iron ore lakes with beautiful views!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Congrats to Larry Sauber too for getting 2nd at the 100 miler, you freak! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can't wait to race at this event again next year! Great times! Thanks again to Joel Benton and James Kauth for the extra water bottles. Next up, our first Pre Fat! </div>

We have not updated forever, but here it goes! I took 12 credits this summer, so I have been busy! Not much free time, between studying, training, and racing. The racing is going well.....I won my first WORS race at Eau Claire, which was great fun! Thanks to Lonie and his coaching. I was so excited to make Cycling News.

<br />
<br />
We also went up to the Telemark Forest Mountain Bike Race in mid July. What a great time racing a few Olympic skiers! Then Lonie and I went to Napa Valley for my cousin's wedding. We had a super time and 5 days off the bike! <br />
<br />
Thanks to Saris, they sent me a new handle bar mount for my power tap! I love that company, they rock and so do their employees! They have super products and superb customer service! <br />
<br />

Lonie and I had a super weekend of racing. After work Friday we drove to Cable, Wisconsin. We met up with our dear friend Brendan and new friend Bob. Bob was nice enough to let us stay at his cabin on Lake Owen. Lonie and I arrived at the cabin around 7:30 pm and then went for a little spin on the bikes. Bob then took us out for a boat ride on the cleanest lake in Wisconsin. We saw a loon up close and 5 bald eagles. We ate a great dinner cooked by Brendan and got to bed! <br />
<br />
The Cable Classic is a mix of fire roads and rocky single track. Lonie and I rode to Lakewoods for the start. Lonie had a great race and had his best finish at the Cable Classic. I had a fun race too and placed 3rd among the women. <br />
<br />
After the race, we rode back to the cabin and headed home. We then decided to race at Afton on Sunday. I was surprised at the great turnout for the race! Lonie won his age group and I placed 2nd. Great race by all! <br />
<br />
Special thanks for Leopard Cycles, Bicycle Fit Guru, CycleOps, LCR, and Janky Cycles for your help and support! <br />

Next up............ Buck Hill tonight and WORS Race on June 3rd in Wausau! <br />

Well, I burned up my CycleOps Fluid 2 trainer. The seal started leaking about 2 weeks ago. I was wondering why biking was SO easy. Oh gosh, now I have to start working again. Thanks to CycleOps they sent me replacement resistance unit today! What great customer service. I contacted CycleOps on Wednesday and received a new one today! A special thanks for Cassandra Habel at CycleOps, her customer service is superb! Thanks also for selecting me for your Grassroots Sponsorship for CycleOps for 2012. CycleOps has great products, especially the power tap! <br />
<br />
<br />
Lonie and I got in the Rag 105! We also got accepted to be ambassadors for LARABAR for 2012. For any of you that have not tried LARABAR, they are excellent and glueten free! We will be handing out LARABARS at local bike races. <br />
<br />
Cheq 100 maybe on our radar, sounds epic. We will keep that in mind. I would be stoked to ride with my husband and brother-in-law....Larry....he is a psycho! I love him and he is a great biker! <br />

The next thing I heard was two golden retrievers hollowing next to me. They kept me company for the next 9 miles. The miles flew by with my two new training partners. I kind of felt like Jeff Hall and his trusty dog or maybe his dad's dog. Good times out in the country....... I was thinking I may run into my bro(tower) I 'm sure he would have got a kick out of my new training partners. If you need motivation head on down to Farmtown and hook up with the Dog train. They will pull you for miles!<br />

I finished 3rd at Chequamegan. I was sooooo happy! I want to thank my dear husband for all the training and encouraging. I raced on my 2004 Giant XTC with over 6000 miles on it! Lea Davison picked up my bike and said "You could take 10 minutes off your time!" Wow!<br />
<br />
We stayed at a friend's cabin outside of Spooner. We also celebrated Lonie's birthday. Lonie had a great race too, despite his mechanical and separated shoulder. I am praying that he gets better soon. <br />
<br />
Excited about 2012 season, hopefully good things to come!<br />

God bless!Team SAUBER http://www.blogger.com/profile/00194549423051332343noreply@blogger.com0
