So it’s pretty evident that I only posted one video blog in 2011. Which was this one:
For those of you who don’t know what ended up happening to me there, I crashed in the last stage was knocked unconcious for about a minute and I lost all of my memories for the next 4 hours…so I suffered a pretty solid concussion. I woke up in the hospital wondering what the hell happened. The doctors had me spend an extra 2 days in Qatar so that I could recover from the trauma before jumping on a 20hour flight home. All I did was sleep in my extra 2 days in Qatar. Then I got home and slept some more. I pretty much shut my blinds and locked myself up in my room for the next two weeks and did some extreme recovery. It was a rough way to start the year and as I recovered and attempted to bounce back from my concussion I hit a few speed bumps along the way…which ultimately set me back even more.
But eventually I overcame the obstacles in front of me and the highlights of my 2011 season included a U23 US Criterium National Championship and a stage win and U23 GC at Le Tour du Limousin in France.
I feel that my explanation for the lack of video blogs is that I was focusing the time that I had on my hands to recover from my incident and get myself back in the game. I think that excuse is excusable to you. Hopefully I can be forgiven 
I plan to get everything back on track this year! I already kicked off the year with solid results at US Cyclocross National Championships with a 2nd in the Collegiate Women’s race and a (self-surprising) 5th in the Elite Women’s race!!!
Next up is Ladies Tour of Qatar – Round 2. I’m going to give Qatar another chance, I know that is where I injured myself last year, but I am not afraid of the race because of that. Qatar is a good race for me and I am better prepared this time around. Funny how ironic it is that my last video blog was from Qatar. I am excited to go back and I am ready to kill some bitches.
Along with that I have gotten a jump-start with my video blogs! I have just completed my first video blog on what my family and I did on New Year’s Eve. Check it out below:
