Finishing 2008 and Yeti Team for 2009

So I haven't kept up with this blog at all over the season, but the season fonished out well. I ended up third overall in the Mountain States Cup behind Kain Leonard(2nd) and Chris Boice(1st). Considering the amount and intensity of my injuries, I am satisfied with this result, but for 2009 I am aming much higher. I just finished racing collegiate cyclocross and it was a blast. I finished 20th at cross nationals, after a crash in the first lap that destroyed my left ankle. I learned so much about real training, fitness, nutrition, as well as mental race preparation. I feel like this is going to lead to a very strong 2009. So for 2009 I will be riding on the Yeti Team with lots of fast guys who I can learn from. I feel like this is a very positive move for me and the Yeti team atmosphere and dynamic is going to help me grow as a professional cyclist. I am super excited to ride the new 303R for DH and the 4x and DJ for slalom and 4x. Check out these bikes at http://www.yeticycles.com/. I would like to thank Chris Conroy, Damion Smith, Keith Darner, Seth Ramsbottom, and all the other wonderful hard working Yeti family for making this opportunity possible for me. I hope to impress you all in 2009.
