Bouncing Back from Buffalo

2 weeks ago I went down in a bike crash at Elite Nationals in Buffalo and experienced my first DNF (boo). The silver lining--I made it out in better shape than my bike with only a smattering of wounds. Margie told me it was OK to be upset but that I just can't let it consume me, as this happens.
I moved on and yesterday in tropical Myrtle Beach, cheered on by a supportive DC Tri Club contingent, I secured third place and my second podium (in as many finishes) in ITU continental cups this year. YAHTZEE.
Don't you love that woman peering around the finish sign?

  1. Holy crap! If there's a story that goes along with that road-rash, I'd love to hear it.

    Also, did you consider skipping the med-tent and asking your fellow podium-standers to sterilize your wounds with champagne?

  2. The yucky road rash is nicely balanced by a shot of that super-fly booty of yours. Lookin' good and kickin' ass-- the only way to go!
    So excited for your amazing performances this year. You have so much to be proud of!!
