Here’s a few photos from the races this past weekend. Most of these are not my pictures so I have linked to the photo hosted on other sites. If you hover over the link, you will get a preview of the picture without having to go to that site. The sprint for third place: http://rldaniel.exposuremanager.com/p/pro_1_2/_d2n682621…
I’ve already included my heart rate and power data in the previous post, so here I want to detail how the races played out for those interested in reading about race tactics. State championship road race, Hartselle, Alabama First, Heath Goebel put on a great race with two excellent course venues. The road race was…
Update: Somebody just pointed out to me that the criterium was not the state championship criterium. That is coming up here in Birmingham at the Pepper Crit in September. If I can medal in that race, then I will have medaled in all three Alabama state championship events! Quick summary: 3rd yesterday in the road…
It was a very exciting race, and it came down to an exciting three-up sprint which I led out, head down, 40mph (slight downhill) thinking that I had the jump to hold it to the line – but Mike Olheiser and Matt Winstead came around with less than 50 meters to go. That meant third…
We’re leaving bright and early tomorrow morning to head up to Hartselle, Alabama for the state road race. 72 miles, 4 laps of an 18 mile course. After the race we’re heading over to Guntersville, Alabama to stay with the McCrory’s whom we haven’t seen in a while so we’re looking forward to catching up…

It’s pretty cool! Give it a minute or so to update itself before you first start seeing any real values.
We found out yesterday that we could add Versus to our extremely cheap cable lineup for only $10/month. I am sure that it is a mistake somehow, but we now have Charter 10Meg Internet, basic digital service (channels 2-13), the discovery channel (23), and the sports package including Versus (212) for only $45/month! Anyway, I’m…
From worst to first! Anybody who knows my racing knows that I usually finish towards the bottom end of the group in time trials. Today I turned that around — well, sorta … I placed third today in the 1/2/3 category but since I was the only Cat 1 from Alabama in the race, I…
Fitchburg-Longsjo was an awesome experience at the beginning of the month. Tomorrow is the Alabama state time trial championships in Sprott, Alabama. Table-top flat and I am looking to get some good time trial training and establish a base level for a 40k time trial since this will be my first one. I am hoping…
Update: Unfortunately, I had to remove these pictures because of copyright issues. Oh well. As a substitute, you can hover over any of the links and WordPress will automatically display a preview of the picture.
