Back in B-Town
I made it back from Phoenix, after an 13 hr drive through the night with my roommate Kiel. Luckily, the whole trip went very smoothly...I will post more later after I get a bit of sleep.

Videos of the Pros
I am finally feeling recovered and getting back into the swing of things in college. Only two weeks left until I will be finished with my undergrad in Physics, and it feels great to see the end in sight. I uploaded some videos of the Pros racing at the Ghent Six. This first one is of the top three teams taking a lap on the field. You can see how precise their riding is, always trying to stay at the bottom of the track as to ride the shortest distance each lap, and the way they weave their way through the other riders on relief. This second video is of another event that is part of the racing each night. It is called a Derny race and consists of six riders each being paced by a motorbike.

Settling in for the Summer
After the chaos of the last two weeks, I am finally in one place for at least two weeks. I have moved back in with my parents as I can not afford to commute the 90 miles from Boulder to the track more than once a week, and for the summer I will be on the track at least three days a week, so this would simply not work. My heart is still in Boulder and it will always be calling when I am away. I also started a job today at the USA Cycling Development Foundation as a summer intern. But for the first couple of weeks I will be helping to organize the 10 USA Cycling Development Camps that are planned all across the US in the coming two months. As for training, it is simply amazing! I am far above any point in last season and the real intense track training has not even started! Last Sunday we were doing 20 min Madison intervals behind the motor at around 56Kph, or 34mph, and I was barely breathing. I guess 3 months of intense training toped off by a Six-day at over 7000 ft is finall...
