What I’ve learned/learning from a friends passing…
It’s been 1 year since my friend Melinda passed. I’ve struggled with processing her death. How and what I’ve learned in her passing. More to come!
The clock is ticking…or is it?
Time. The most precious commodity. Where did it go? How does this fit into cycling and endurance sports. The big question is do you have the time to train on a really busy schedule?
Grounded while not grounded.
Apologies for the lack of blog posts this past 1.5 weeks. I’m in the midst of a long block of commentating and traveling for Speed Week (If you want to follow along and watch live you can here. ).
