I am here and I still can’t believe it. It feels like a dream.  Tomorrow morning at 9 AM Europe time (or 1 AM in Boulder, CO), the gun will go off.  I’ll be lined up next to the best marathon distance racers in the world, about to depart on a 107kM adventure of the [...]

Alright. So at home, it’s 3 PM. Here in Germany, it’s 11 PM and I am wide awake, so I’ll make good use of my time before counting little Rotwilds (translation: Red Deer) instead of sheep to get to sleep. I’m doing what all good little pros are supposed to do. Sit in bed wearing [...]

I arrived in St. Wendel in the early evening yesterday. Our mechanic, Larry, got my bike together in true pro fashion and I took a 1 hour spin on the course to move some blood through my legs after 2 days off, and a long plane flight. I definitely felt like I had “airplane legs.” [...]

Based on what I’ve heard about the marathon course in St. Wendel, Germany, this will be my wheel set up for the Marathon World Championships. THANK YOU DT Swiss, Continental, Magura, and Stan’s for making this set up possible: Details: Wheel itself: Custom built XRC 330 CARBON rim, 190 Ceramic Hubs, DT Aerolite Spokes Magura [...]

I couldn’t put my finger on the right word for this picture. On Saturday, I did a mellow ride on the 2nd loop of the Breck 100 course – a loop I remember well from last year. I was keeping some of the racers company during the tough sections. Little French is one of the [...]
