Unexceptional Girl Racer
http://unexceptionalgirlracer.blogspot.com/2010/09/im-depressed.html
A blog about bike racing. Tuesday, September 14, 2010. My racing this past season has been truly unexceptional and it's gotten me down. I work really hard. I spend a significant portion of my life training. I want to do well. My best results this year: third place in the 1-2-3 field at Leland Kermesse in April and second place in a cat 4 tempo race at the track in August. Both of which I'm proud of - but they aren't nearly enough. Wins: Zero. Zilch. Zed. Upgrade points: 3 (from Leland). On Sunday I raced...

La Válvula de Escape: My Grinch List
http://lavalvuladescape.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-grinch-list.html
Sábado, 26 de diciembre de 2009. Después de una larga ausencia en este espacio hago mi reaparación con una queja formal:. 161;NO RECIBÍ LO QUE PEDÍ PARA NAVIDAD! 1) Envié la carta erróneamente al Polo Sur y no al Norte. 2) La envié al Polo Norte pero por Ipostel. 3) La misiva llegó al consabido destino pero quizás no me porté tan bien este año como pensaba. Para el 2010 y ver si así corro con mejor suerte. Está sumamente variada para facilitarte el trabajo y lo que es mejor aún, como somos "anti - navide...

La Válvula de Escape: Del Mundial y otras incidencias
http://lavalvuladescape.blogspot.com/2010/06/del-mundial-y-otras-incidencias.html
Martes, 22 de junio de 2010. Del Mundial y otras incidencias. Luego de una larga ausencia debido a mis múltiples ocupaciones, he decidido regresar a este mi espacio y por supuesto no podía desaprovechar la oportunidad de comentar sobre el fenómeno de moda: El Mundial de Fútbol Sudáfrica 2010. Cuenta con un numeroso grupo de fanáticos y esto representa el punto álgido de la polémica. Tan controvertido se ha tornado esto de la admiración de los venezolanos por la selección de Brasil que ha ocasionado mi re...

Unexceptional Girl Racer: April 2010
http://unexceptionalgirlracer.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A blog about bike racing. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Just looked up the official rules on upgrading, and learned I have 4 upgrade points! I thought I'd only get 1 for Leland. 21 more to go. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Photo - Gavin Gould. Leland - Kermesse was on Saturday. Not only was the course a total soul-crusher [this is a good thing], Flatlandia really outdid themselves putting it on. Thanks, guys! Photo - Gavin Gould. I wasn't in much better shape on that fourth lap, truth be told. And I really m...

Unexceptional Girl Racer: May 2009
http://unexceptionalgirlracer.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
A blog about bike racing. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. I raced the ABD Memorial Day masters' criterium yesterday - and I have to start by saying that ABD puts on great races. Well-organized, well-marshalled races on good courses. Monday's race was in an industrial park on a wide, smooth road with sweeping corners, a couple false flats and a bit of wind. Why didn't I go? What's wrong with me? When will I learn that I regret inaction more than action, even ineffectual action. Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Today was t...

Unexceptional Girl Racer: July 2009
http://unexceptionalgirlracer.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
A blog about bike racing. Friday, July 31, 2009. Http:/ www.saxobanktakingthelead.com/? Jens recorded a video assuring everyone that he's OK and will be back racing soon. Yay. Other than the loss of yet more dignity. Pactimo, who makes my team's kit, has sent me a couple pairs of newly designed women's shorts to try out. The past couple years, the chamois in the women's shorts has had some issues, so I'm delighted that they are trying new things and I'm happy to help vet them. Tuesday, July 21, 2009.

A blog about bike racing. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Photo by Jeremey,. First race in the Chicago Cross Cup series - SUCH an excellent series! Jackson Park. I raced the women's cat 4s along with 51 other women! I ended up 11th - so didn't quite make my goal. Something to work for. Photo by Vladimir Istomin. I caught up with the back and started passing guys. Hey - Flannel Mike has a cross bike! Only three laps to make up ground. I was counting on four. Let me know if the link doesnt work).

Unexceptional Girl Racer: June 2009
http://unexceptionalgirlracer.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
A blog about bike racing. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. It was hot. I warmed up and tried to stay hydrated. The 40-44 age group had the largest field with 25 women starting [or as the announcer claimed at the line: "almost 30! It was such a fun race - and so hard. If I can improve my cornering and descending skills, I'll finish with the front group next year. A good goal. Oh my god my HED stingers are AWESOME! Driving for hours after a hard race is its own challenge. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. The Fitness Check...
