Oregon: Mission NOT accomplished

Hi guys, Thought I would share this story, otherwise I may forget in the future. Sometimes things go so wrong it’s almost funny, but not in the moment… It was February 2023, I had a photoshoot for Adidas in Portland, Oregon -exciting stuff! A great storm aligned w my trip, so I went earlier to get a day of snowboarding in Mount Hood (about 1,5 hs drive). I’ll take every opportunity to train I can get, specially with this new board I...

How bad do you want it?

Greetings folks; I’ve been thinking, constantly, now that the Tokyo Paralympics are upon us (I possibly could have been there had my category in triathlon was not cut off) how difficult it will be for me to make the 2022 Winter Paralympics.  Truth to be told, the odds have never been stacked higher against me. If you compare to triathlon days: I had no kids; work was part time so I could focus on training (had a $ scholarship that helped...

Back to Racing Day 2

Day 2 Bikes are unpacked and ready for a little bit of training to get used to this Florida humidity and time zone. We are riding with Team USA Paracyclist, Brandon Lyons, around his community. He has welcomed into his home for a couple days before we all race in the Swamp Classic. The ride was relatively flat and long. It was good to ride outside and with other handcyclists. My training typically consists of either riding on the trainer inside...

New Bike

The past year and a half has been challenging. I didn't get to race at all really due to recovering from a bike accident and a car accident, which both involved vehicles. I've been training nonstop in the gym and getting my equipment ready for the new race season. I finally got a handcycle I can call my own and I can't wait to finally race in it. It's been through many adjustments and probably needs a few more but...

First Ride Back in the Handcycle

It's been just about two years since I've been able to ride/train in a handcycle. As I continue to reach my peak and push boundaries, I'm constantly trying to train in all different areas. I'm beyond grateful to be able to train with some of my teammates. Zimri, Alfonso, and I had a great training ride along the Santa Ana River Trail from San Bernardino to Riverside and back. We even did a bonus climb up Mt. Rubidoux in Riverside...
