Doubts beginning to surface...
So I'm packing for road nationals, and I'm beginning to doubt myself. But this is no ordinary matter. I'm not worried about missing my start or not being able to hang with the pack. My doubt stems from a nickname that I picked up in Angelfire, NM. I was called "old school". Was Amy right? Am I really "old school" for sticking to the original powerbars? (See Powerbar vs. Clif Bar) Luckily, a month later, I can finally answer that question and stop doubting myself.
It turns out that if I'm old school, I'm dragging a lot of people with me. Powerbar was ranked as most riders' favorite, with the original Clifbar and Luna Bar getting an honorable mention. Favorite original powerbar flavors include chocolate, banana, oatmeal raisin, and choclate peanut butter. Honeystinger was the runaway favorite for energy gels, with top flavors including gold, gensting, and chocolate. POS3 Rehydrate won top honors for energy drinks, but personally I prefer Accelerade.
For anyone who hasn't figured it out yet, the first part was a joke. I'm excited for nationals, and I'm really glad to have the support of the entire team behind me. Special thanks to Jeff, Sean and Walt for all you've done to get the team up and running, and helping me to prepare for my trip to Pennsylvania. Also to my parents, brother and sister for supporting me and putting up with all of my ridiculous habits. And to my teammates and riding partners: it's been a great season so far, let's keep it up!
