Perseverance: Twinsburg Duathlon 2014
http://perseverance13.blogspot.com/2014/06/twinsburg-duathlon-2014.html
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Wednesday, June 4, 2014. I can't say enough about the races or the race director of Northcoast Multisports. But I love his events and always make the effort to participate and volunteer as much as possible for their events. My family even gets a little endurance bug and will jump in a race or two with me. This year would be no different. My little brother (who has never ridden a road bike in his life) was going to "Man Up" and do the du! We lined up in ...

Perseverance: September 2013
http://perseverance13.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Monday, September 23, 2013. Rev 3 Half Race Report. It was my turn at the front. I stood on the ramp until one volunteer said "Go! And the other said "wait a second." Tara and I were confused as to what to do and we both simultaneously chose to head into the water. The cop yelled back "Yes! I was pumped I knew barring any mechanicals I was going to break 20 mph even in this mini-tornado. I made it to the park and soft pedaled ripping my feet out of my s...

Perseverance: July 2014

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Sunday, July 13, 2014. Our team had been kicking around the idea of doing the "Round Up Tri" hosted by Champ Racing. And we needed 5 girls to compete, so not wanting our team to be short and after 10 years of letting Daisy. Talk me into stuff, I submitted my entry (when am I ever gonna learn? I nodded still half asleep, slowly dragging myself out of the recliner. I had no urge to warm-up and my jogging included 2 trips to the bathroom before donning my ...

Perseverance: May 2015
http://perseverance13.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. I swore I'd never race a mountain bike. I even promised a certain someone I wouldn't use my powers for evil, but after almost a year of shredding with some amazing guys (SD, CF, HB, JB, JS, GM, IM, DR and the owner of The Bicycle Hub. RP also who I race for), I started kicking the idea of racing The Mayehm Enduro. I'd talked to SD. About it and to my surprise, he was completely okay with me doing it under two conditions. I was s...

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Monday, July 22, 2013. A Shot In The Dark (2-Person Relay). I all but detest running now because it aggravates the ever continuing saga that is my foot pain, but after my TBH. Sponsor put out feelers to see who was in for this. Race, I thought "What the heck? I signed me and Roark up for a little painful fun. We were racing under the name " Team Spin Hub. As he works for a local competitor bike shop and I of course race for " The Bicycle Hub. DM had sta...

Perseverance: Interclub Relay Race
http://perseverance13.blogspot.com/2014/12/interclub-relay-race.html
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Wednesday, December 10, 2014. So much has happened since my last entry, some of it good and some of it pretty heartbreaking, but somehow I came out the other side walking and yep, running again. After the accident, I found I wanted to try running since my knee was only holding up to so much climbing on the bike, so I signed myself up for Run for Regis. So our unofficial team leader, Daisy. Talked 6 of us from Team Bicycle Hub. It was low 30's and sunny&...

Perseverance: March 2014
http://perseverance13.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Monday, March 17, 2014. St Malachi 2 Miler. Just when my running had progressed to almost an hour of intervals on the treadmill, it was side lined by my nose surgery on February 5th. Fast forward to March 3rd and my plastic surgeon says "You can start running again." Elated I left the office and immediately ran 2 miles that day and signed up for the St. Malachi 2 miler on March 15th. I had no running fitness, but it was a team race. It was windy and fel...

Perseverance: April 2014
http://perseverance13.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Tuesday, April 22, 2014. Race At The Lake 1 (RATL - 1). Well, I finally did it. I (wo)-manned up and got in my first and certainly not last crit race! And it was glorious.for 10 laps. I had plenty of experience riding in groups and understood it was not about who was the fastest, but who was the smartest. I felt confident in my bike handling skills and knew even after riding for 18 days straight for #30DaysOfBiking. RATL 1 courtesy of WAS Labs Cycling.
