Victory at Notre Dame!!!!

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the late update. I've been very busy with school.

Last weekend the Lindsey Wilson College cycling team traveled to the University of Notre Dame to continue racing. Saturday was based on a 70 mile road race. The race was very tough, but Lindsey Wilson managed to get two riders in the winning breakaway, which were Josh Nagode and I. The breakaway was composed of 4 Marian riders, 2 Lindenwood, and two Lindsey Wilson. The breakaway split up with 3 laps to go due to the confusion I caused on the Marian riders. Four of the 8 riders ended up staying away, where my teammate Josh Nagode ended up in 4th Place.

On Sunday was the 35 mile Criterium. Overall the criterium was tough due to the massive flurries of attacks the entire race. Soon, I noticed that none of the attacks were staying away, so with 3 Laps to go I began setting up for the sprint. The Marian team lead the train, where I had perfect position right behind them. With 300 meters, the sprint started, and that's when I launched my sprint to the line. With second place 20 meters behind me, I gave my victory solute as I crossed the Finish Line. Without God's help I couldn't win this race, and I thank him for that. During this race I wanted to accomplish what I didn't in the road race which was a victory. I wanted to give everything I had to win, and thank God I achieved what I wanted.

Fine Weekend!!!

Hello Everyone,

Let me begin by saying....Thank God for this past weekend of racing!!

Well, this past weekend of racing in Depauw, IN was composed of a 64 mile road race followed by a 5 mile TTT (Team Time Trial) on Saturday and a Criterium on Sunday. Lindsey Wilson raced a fantastic Road Race. During the first lap, attacks were going and coming. Near the end of the first lap, I counter attacked a breakaway causing confusion between the riders. This confusion was what caused the final breakaway to form, which included two Indiana riders, one from Marian, one from Purdue, and two Linsey Wilson riders......Lewis Almonte and I. Behind the breakaway, our other teammates were doing a perfect job, controling every move the other 

riders made. The breakaway ended up staying away

where I took the final dash to the line, and winning the race. I was very happy with the win and pleased on how Lindsey Wilson raced. This win was moral boost for me. 

Followed by the Road Race was the TTT (Team Time Trial). The TTT team was composed of Kip Spaude, Clayton Omer, and Peter Smith. During the TTT we did the best we co

uld since we didn't have a complete Aero set up. We finished third!!!!! Well deserved. 

Sunday was the criterium. The race was an hour long, around a park. On the first few laps, attacks were coming and going. Once again, I counter attacked another rider causing the peloton to split. The wind was a major factor, making the race more difficult. After I made my move, a 12 rider breakaway was formed, where Lindsey Wilson had 2 riders in it.....Kip Spaude and I. From that breakaway, another attacked was launched causing the break to split in half. My teammate made the split, which left me a free ride in the second group. Later on I tried to bridge across to the leading group, but my efforts were not enough. We finished 

6th, 8th, and 10th for the day.

Overall, Lindsey Wilson had a fine weekend of racing taking the top 

places in each event.....not bad for a program that is growing and 

will continue to grow.

First Collegiate Race........around the corner!!!!

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while..............Let me start by saying that my return to school was a bit rough. I was disoriented with classes, so I had to play catch up for a few weeks. Thank God things are going better here at Lindsey Wilson.

The day I arrived back in school, I began to prepare for the upcoming collegiate road race season. As you know I could not train over break because the weather back home was miserable. In contrast, the weather here has been quite pleasant. During the first three weeks here, I was putting in 25 to 30 hour weeks. I was surprised that I didn't feel too crappy on the first few rides, the reason being is do to the good amount of fitness I had gained over break at the Gym. This past week of school, was extremely busy for me, and for this reason it was difficult to go out and train as I wanted. Also, the weather has not been cooperating for the last few days.

The first collegiate race will take place in Murray, KY which is only a few days away. I'm really exited to race and see what collegiate racing is all about. I'm also jubilant to start racing. I feel well, healthy, and motivated. Now, let's just wait and see what happens this weekend!!!!! Stay tuned as I will give an update once the race is over...........
