most the week after they happened, but I learn lessons quickly and dont
fixate on mistakes

What's it mean to you to be riding for the Kona:
I fell super lucky to
involved with such a relaxed professional team that treats me like an adult

controlling. Plus I get to ride the best bikes out there, so that is a real
bonus.

gross
Does the Santa Cruz climate make it easier to train or is that a myth:
It is
definitely easier to get out for 5-6 hr training rides when it is 50 degrees
and sunny as opposed to 40 and raining, but all those years in Oregon made
me appreciate how easy I have it now.
What's your favorite number and why:
5, cause that is my race number this
year

Maybe...
