Spring Break

We spent our Spring break (or I should say mine, Sean is always on Spring break) in Clemson. We had a great time putting in hours of base training, visiting friends, and doing a little work at the farm. The next week my folks came to visit and we spent a day in Savannah. The spring is beautiful in the South!

Greenville Spring Series

The official start of the racing season is over. After three weekends and over 1,000 miles of driving Sean and I are fitter, stronger, and more tired than we started! Sean placed well in the Masters races (2nd, 3rd, and 3rd in the overall) while his team finished strong in the Pro 1,2 races. I was able to get enough top places to ensure my upgrade to a category 3 racer, which of course only means longer races, additional miles, and more pain. Nevertheless, we had a great time seeing so many of our friends. Clemson will always be home.

My brother (John) and his wife (Cara) delivered our first nephew in the family on January, 21. She was in labor for over 24 hours and Grayson James was a whopping 8lbs. 11oz. Welcome to the world Grayson!

Quote of the Day

When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord, in his wisdom, doesn't work that way. So I just stole one and asked him to forgive me." - Emo Philips

Florida Weekend

We enjoyed the long holiday weekend in Gainesville, FL. Our original plan was to drive down and race in the Bring It On Series!, but realized the University of Kentucky was playing UF Saturday night, so we made a weekend of it. We both raced Saturday afternoon and were overall pleased with our fitness considering it is January! Toward the end of my race a minor hurricane came through leaving me wet and cold. We checked into a cheap motel that allowed our woofs and was able to relax until the 9pm game start. Unfortunately, UK couldn’t pull out the win even after overtime. Sunday we took our time driving home and stopped in St. Mary’s to research our kayak trip to Cumberland Island in March. Enjoy the pictures from the race, UF, and St. Mary’s!
