First track nationals… First 4 USA National Champ titles…. What a weekend🙏🏼🇺🇸 🥇Scratch Rcae 🥇Individual Pursuit 🥇Team Pursuit 🥇Points Race I’m so deeply grateful for all the support the past couple months as I jumped into track for the first time. From @usacycling camps and coaches to @bvvelodrome & @coloradospringsvelodrome local community and racing, my @twenty28procycling team, and all my training buddies. I’ve felt so much love and support as I’ve tried new things, fallen and gotten back up (quite literally 😂 @robby.mann we can laugh about it now), and continued to pursue this unknown of track cycling. I still have SO much to learn but it’s safe to say now it’s pretty clear I want to see where I can go with this discipline. God is so good and truly writing a story we don’t see. A lot of closed doors, cracked doors, slammed doors, and unexpected open doors led to this. It’s so amazing when it all comes together and you see why the things that didn’t workout, didn’t workout and realize how powerful it is to surrender to God’s plan 🤍 📸: @craigsclicks

Asked @paulmanning74 to hold my beer for the points race 🍻🥇🫡 Sometimes you are given one shot to back yourself and prove what you know to be true. That was the Pan Am Points race for me. My cycling career has always been more of a scrappy underdog story than a polished performance. With little experience and sometimes little support I’ve gone out and let my legs do the talking, many times on far from perfect equipment or less than ideal prep. As I’ve gained more support (s/o @usacycling @twenty28procycling @strommcycles ) and opportunity I feel less like an underdog and more like a professional but I still race with the same scrappy mindset and something to prove, especially when I know the race results have 0 impact on my value as a person. I had to learn this the hard way especially back in my running days but it allows me to pursue my potential with freedom and confidence. This “hold my beer” mentality keeps on working so we will keep rolling with it even if others keep calling it beginners luck 🙃 I still have a ton to learn and am soaking up every opportunity to grow. It’s an honor to join my @usacycling teammates and watch and learn from athletes I look up to so much. We truly have an incredible group on the track team. I’m excited to continue this journey and see what we can achieve. Time to head home and review the process and continue grinding away.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller In sport — and in life — true strength is built together. It’s the trust, the unspoken moments, the selfless work behind the scenes that make the victories even sweeter. Every teammate matters. Every effort counts. Every small act of support pushes us all forward. It’s almost @tourdebloom time 🌺 🎥 @deborah_shearer_photography @tour_of_newport_news Here’s to the teammates who lift, believe, and race for more than just themselves. #Teamwork #StrongerTogether #OneTeamOneDream @visitvbr @visitvirginia @visitvbrsports @gozwift @cottonsoxsports @feltbicycles @precisionfandh @prestacycle @sockguyluv @theoriginalstick #womenscycling @precisionfandh @oakleybike @prestacycle @kx3performancecoaching

Headed to Hong Kong with @usacycling for the track World Cup next week✈️🇭🇰 I am excited to race my first team pursuit! It’s been the primary training focus for a few months now and it’s finally time to give it a rip 🫡

All this and I just hit my highest CTL ever🫡 Happy is fast 👏🏼

Successful trip to Austin 🤠❤️💃 I had 3 goals for this weekend, build fitness, explore race tactics/experience, and have fun. Huge thank you to @being_barrylee @twenty28procycling for supporting me to achieve these goals @pacebendweekend And a HUGE thank you to @kevin_colbert_fish for being the best host family. Thanks for so generously sharing your home, your truck, your dog and your child with us 😅💕 This season started very early and very focused so this weekend was a special opportunity to reconnect with why I race, support my people & the cycling community, and return to racing with curiosity that I believe leads to the most growth and best performances. We had so much fun on and off the bike and I’m feeling recharged and ready to keep grinding toward our long term goals.

@pacebendweekend Day 1 🤠 So happy to be in Austin and racing the infamous drive way. Thanks to @being_barrylee & @twenty28procycling for supporting the opportunity to get some road racing in the legs 💪🏼 Gotta get some reps in before I join my @twenty28procycling teammates who have already been sweeping podiums right and left 🤩 📸: @media.camino

Pre pan ams dump. From travel & training camps with the girls to at-home training camp with the boy and all the chaos in between (including my body my car and my bikes all breaking at once just to keep it exciting). Grateful for this little life and the wild adventure it always is ❤️
