First Lifetime race at Big Sugar. Thanks to @jonathanyates49 for supporting my race. @landonaberle you’re the goat for letting me borrow the wheels, and it wouldn’t be possible without Coach/ @cmileski_coaching. Super fun race experience and there will be more long distance gravel/MTB adventures in 2027

See the last pic for Jon’s tan 😭

How lucky am I to have something that hurts this much when I fall just short? How lucky am I to care this deeply, to be this close, and to have something worth fighting for? Yesterday was a bit of a heartbreaker. I had some really clear process goals to cross off out on course yesterday and when I nailed every single one, it felt like the result so very close. I was in a group fighting for Top-10 and exactly where I needed to be to contend for Top-10 in the overall series as well, when, on an uphill, at mile 70, I got a flat. I rode it with sealant spraying out everywhere, saying out loud, “come on, come on, come on” until it was fully flat. I was able to get it plugged with 2 plugs and get back on my way. I fought like crazy to get back to the group, and I caught a few stragglers but it was too late in the race. I finished the Grand Prix out in the painful 11th place. But I’m grateful. Not everyone gets to feel the pain of “almost.”And maybe that pain is a privilege in itself. The joy in focusing on the process is knowing that the result is just a byproduct. Now I get a quick turnaround and head to Tanzania in just 5 days for the journey I’ve been prepping for all year.

Little Sugar is not sweet 🥵😵‍💫. Honestly the hardest I’ve ever pushed myself. Was going to quit, and my dad lied to my at mile 48ish and told me I had 80% pavement and 20% trail. It was really 80% trail and 20 % pavement. But hey, I did it 😂. My goal was sub 7, and I came in at 7:20. I definitely could have gone faster, but I went a bit too hard in the middle and cooked myself. Learned a lot, said I would never do it again, but there’s like a 99% chance I will. And of course, I can’t talk about this without talking about the greatest coach in history @cmileski_coaching. Thank you so much not for just the race, but for the best four years of my life racing my bike. You have been a 3rd parent, and I will never be able to thank you enough. Plus, I can’t wait to throw on a race next year to pull you out of retirement NICA retirement 😉. And thanks for my family coming down on my birthday weekend and watching such a good football game.

What a weekend…

This will always be one of my favorite races, and I am so glad I got enough points to upgrade to Cat 1. Thank you @cmileski_coaching and @south_side_xc for preparing me for this event and weekend of racing. I cannot wait to see what mtb racing will bring me next year, now onto the fall of gravel —>

Lots of new journeys, starting the last year of high-school, kept up on the bike, and my wisdom teeth are gone.

Top 5 at State Champs?! What an amazing end to at the beginning a pretty terrible year. What an amazing last Missouri NICA race. Thanks to @mileskigram and @mobikesforannie to making this an amazing six years. Thanks to all the coaches and my parents for all the support I’ve had over the years. Getting this was such a huge goal for me for the past 3 years, so to pull it off my senior year is a dream come true. And another big thanks to @cmileski_coaching for helping get to this point in my cycling career. Couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks cooooaaaaachhhhh!!! Time to go and kill it at central regionals!
