So far, so good!

Lonie and I have raced a few times since last post.  Lonie continues to tear it up at Buck Hill.  First week was 6th and second week 10th (not bad after a good crash too).  Lonie is looking lean and riding fast.  This season we have been warming up together, he keeps me calm!  In the past, I would go warm up and burn up all my matches!!  Lonie knows his stuff!

I won the first two Buck Hill races.  Can't beat the Thursday night beat down!  We also did a "The Fallen Oak Duatholon" put on by Rich Zilla this past Sunday.  Rich puts on great races! Lonie took 9th in the duatholon and I won the women's race.  Lonie caught me on the second bike lap and then flatted.  Lonie quickly went back to the car and fixed his flat and finished strong.

 We opted out of the first MN MTB Series races due to the muddy conditions.  Our Lutsen 99er race is 3 weeks away.  Time to get our finishing training in and be ready to rip!

Next up, Afton in June for the MN MTB Series.  Keep hammering!!

Best Sandwich EVER!

Lonie and I did the Sandwich 50 today.  We decided to race it Wed. night, it was the MN Marathon Championships!  Lonie was 7th overall and I won the women's race. Larry Sauber also kicked butt 5th overall.  Brendan Moore (Trek) was flying by everyone!


Tight, turny single track was on the agenda today.  We had a great time.  Charly Tri (Trek 29er) put the race on!  Good job by all.  Next up maybe the Cable Classic if not, Buck starts this week.  Training for the Lutsen 99er, 5 short weeks away and CAN'T wait!

Winter begone now!

Lonie and I are looking forward to the warm weather? Maybe..........Lonie and I had fun racing a 5k in the rain on Saturday........Great memories..............

Looking forward to the race season..........Lutsen 99er is in are sites..........too bad we had to do a 70 mile ride INSIDE!  That just adds to the mental toughness.  6 weeks of school to go, we are pumped!  Nothing better than working at a school then June, July, and August.

Lonie did great for his first 5k, 7:19 pace!  I ran 6:40, not my PR but I will take it for a rainy, windy day in April.  Xterra racing, here we come!

Looking forward to ride for TREK 29er Crew and Larson Cycles again this year!  God bless for now!
