The night before the first ProXCT a few of us were asked to do a short question and answer session at the Mellow Johnny's bike shop in downtown Austin. Ted, one of the race promoters and Mellow Johnny's employee had done his research on each of us and had great personalized questions. He asked me about being new to Team Jamis and about our team camp with the road team. Then he asked about being new to pro racing in general and then about what it's like to race while being a mother to a 4 year old. I didn't realize until later that evening that the girl I was sitting next to had gone to the Olympics for the UK! Emily Batty, on the far right also raced in the Olympics for Canada. Chloe and Judy were on the long list for the Olympics for 2012.

The men's table was equally full of ringers: Jason Sager, Russell Finsterwald, Sam Schultz, Todd Wells, Geoff Kabush, talk about a power house right there!
