It’s been a few weeks since I last post on the blog, so this
one may be a bit long. Ill do my best to bring you up to speed on what’s going
on and ill keep it 100% as much as possible. The last couple of weeks have been really stressful not only
to me but my family. It seems the relationship I had with the owner of my team
has slowly went down hill and the respect I thought he had for me has
unraveled. Without going into detail, lets just say we had a huge
misunderstanding that led to more misunderstanding and disrespect.
My father all was said, “only females get emotional” so I
always keep that in the back of my mind and think before I speak however when
someone calls you a asshole and a liar, I think you have the right to defend
yourself. So moving forward, I mentioned my situations to a few people
I respect to get some balance from the negative vibe I’ve been getting from my
team and I got some really good feed back that allowed me to be the bigger man. I’m not happy with my current situation but I also know that
everything is temporary except my life expression. Not being able to race back
east in the big races this week really hurts not only me, but also my career.
As my career has shown, the bigger the race, the better I perform.
I had set goals at the beginning of the season to race in
Europe this year. My team, family and friends were aware of this but it was all
negated with no explanation. I went to camp with the attitude that maybe I
would get bumped up and do TOC team. I road my ass off at camp, I never quite
on the climbs, I did every ride and tried my best to climb with the main guys.
Some days I hung on and some days the legs didn’t go. Some days I out climbed
guys that should out climb me and I never gave into the fact that they were
better than me. Still I have managed to win 6 races thus far this year
trying my best to stay motivated.
My 1st year racing CSC. I have finished 6th or better in every year I races CSC
