Now that I have finished my first half of the season, I have some time to kill before the fun starts up again.  I finally pulled of a podium.  I was 3rd in the Deer Valley Expert xc.    This is my first expert podium and the first podium this year.  It gives me a good boost of confidence to start off the second half of the season.  I am super stoked to have gotten myself back to the pointy end of the race.

It is sort of a bummer to have to take a break now that things are clicking, but this is why I'm blogging right now instead of riding.  Everything is coming together nicely, and I should only get faster through the end of the summer.  Thanks for reading, hopefully I will find something interesting to put up here eventually.
