Boundary Waters - Douglasville



I finally made it to the top step!!!

After seeing a 4th place finish nearly every race of the season so far, I finally saw a course that seem to be designed just for me.
As promised, Boundary Waters offered a little bit of everything.
From off camber switchbacks to a gravel climb that was far more strenuous than it appeared, the course was well designed to keep each rider on their toes.


I'm gradually learning proper race preparation.
It's a weird transition to go from being an absolute couch potato who never really thought twice about what I was eating, to this world of being an "athlete."
(I'm still very much not sure if I'm able to commit to considering myself a real athlete yet)
After a week of monitoring what I ate and when, I could definitely feel an incredible improvement in my race performance.


There's only a few races left in the season. I'm incredibly excited to continue to learn and grow alongside my teammates.
They've been the most supportive crew I could ask for.

I'm currently winning the Cat 4 women's series.
I'm trying to not jump the gun on being overly excited because, honestly, anything could happen at this point.
But hey, for being in my second month of racing, I'll take it!
