Well I have officially made the next step on the ladder towards becoming a Pro road racer, I was granted my Category 1 upgrade today. After several successful seasons including 4 National Championship and a State Championship the qualifications were met.
Not much will change as far as my training, I will work just as hard as I did yesterday. I will keep the same semi-strict diet and race just as hard. Only now I will be racing with the big boys and continuing on my move forward.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me get to this point, including but NOT at all limited to:
My mom and dad, my Grandma Dee Dee, my sisters Hannah and Kate, my beautiful girlfriend Shannon, Brendan Quirk, Craig Zediker and all of Competitive Cyclist, my coaches Rick Crawford, Dave Hagen and Brice Jones and The Tenenbaum Family. This list could go on forever and I'm sure I left some very important people out in this post but not in my mind. Thanks to everyone and see ya on the road.
...oh, and I have not given up the mountain bike completely, just let that be known.
