Pre-Spring Cleaning

*blowing off dust*
I have realized that it has been an extremely long time since I have written a blog post on here. I've just been so busy with school and racing, its hard to just sit down and type up a....oops, the door bell just rang.

Oh, its my 2009 State Track Champion jersey from the UPS guy. I wonder when I'll be get my 2009 Cyclocross Champion jersey...
Anyways, I've been having a lot of fun racing since my last post on here, which was apparently back before nationals. Since then, I made podium in the national criterium, and finished out the 2009 Florida Point Series in 5th in junior 13-14 and 3rd in Women 4, which I am very proud of. Team Colavita also won the team award in junior 10-12 and 13-14, which was great achievement on everyone's part. On Halloween night, my mother drove me down the miami to race the State Track Championships at Brian Piccolo Velodrome. It was an interesting experience and I renewed my title as Junior 13-14 Women, Florida State Track Champion. Then we headed full force into the cyclocross season. Racing in Lakeland, Dade City, Orlando, and Clermont, I got 1st and 2nd places in the Women C category. A few weekends ago we traveled up to Tallahassee for the State Cyclocross Championships, and to my delight, it was my type of course. Technical, steep assents and descents, and very slippery, I was able to ride away from the competition to win. Ta-Da.
So, here I am now. Eating m&ms, listening to Viva la Vida by Coldplay and typing away on the computer when I really should be studying. Live the Life :)
