Well, 2010 has been very interesting for me both on the bike and off. I will elaborate on this later, but for now the big anouncement is my 2010 team Shores Sports has merged with Team Ethos to make one heck of an outstanding core of racers for 2011! This merger has me so inspired that I have uped the ante on my training, I'm being very strict with myself and I'm doing things I have never done before to train. Invision some of the Rocky movies and you may have some insight on my workload. Anyway, I'm super stoked about 2011 and can't wait to see all you on the trails.

Training ride, about 50 miles in and heading home when to our surprise we see this tornado drop a couple miles in front of us, I took this pic. with my cell phone while riding. You can see my group leaving me! I figured its not that often you can get a picture like this while on a bike so I took the suffer fest to bridge back with them. It was very tough because at this point everyone was ready to get home.

Here is my helmet after my wreck at the Tour de lizard on sept 11, 2010. I was chasing JP Brocket for the win in the marathon class when I had a mishap on the third lap. It was my first marathon race so I was taking a pretty easy pace until this lap when I started to make my move. JP was ahead of me, not sure how much, but I was giving it my all to try and bridge. I lost focus on a pretty technical downhill section with a tight right hand bend and a rooted drop about half way down. I was too far forward when I went over the rooted drop and went over the bars. I remember seeing a large rock that I was going to collide head first with when I tucked my head and let the helmet take it. It trashed my helmet and left a large bump on my forehead. I bruised both shoulders, tore my jersey and fractured my knee cap. After a bit of cursing I remounted and continued through the third lap and completed another lap to finish five minutes behind JP. Two weeks later I went to the doctor because my knee was still swollen and he drew off 15 ML of blood and xrayed my knee. Told me that my knee was fractured and that most people don't even want to walk in this condition, but he said it was clean fracture and that I could continue to ride as long as I could bare the pain. I left the Dr's office and went on a 40 mile road ride. LOL.

didn't know it, but I have a fractured patella (knee cap). I kept racing for approx 12 miles like this.
