Kingwood, Texas

I am a student at Kingwood College who enjoys riding everywhere. I do not own a car, forcing myself to cycle every day. I am an English major, and I love to write. You wouldn't know that by all these fragments I'm cranking out. I should be ashamed, really.

Profile

I dress oddly sometimes. I am 19. I ride about 200-275 miles a week. I run as well, (7 marathon veteran) but not as much as I used to. 98% of my rides are done alone. I only do group rides on the weekends, and only sometimes. I pretty much never draft; I feel like I'm cheating, which I suppose is the triathlete in me...:)

Details

Hometown: San Antonio, TX
Hobbies: I like black coffee, early mornings, warm weather, and grits.
In the past I have been heavily into marathons and triathlons. I have done the Houston marathon 3 times, along with New Orleans, Richmond, Oklahoma City, and Seabrook Lucky Trails. As for tri's, I have been active from the time I was 15 to the present, and have done about 25, with a quarter Iron being the longest distance. Now I am looking to get into more bike-centered activities.
At the risk of repeating myself, I love to write. My days usually consist of, class, cycling, writing, and the occasional party on the weekends :)
Right now I ride a somewhat sub-par bicycle, and am currently shopping for a new, better, LIGHTER, carbon-fibery work of art. But as you know, new bikes cost an arm, a leg, and your firstborn child, so who knows when I'll end up buying it.
Gender: M
Strengths: I have endurance. Also, I hate it when people pass me so I will just about kill myself trying to either stay with them or pass them back, even if they are the superior athlete.

Hey pete, the halfee wasn't that bad. It IS still 6 1/2 loops, a bit more muddier than I'd like. Being my first race in anything, I have no opinion to what's good or not, I finished in the top quarter, so I was impressd with myself having never done something like that. Hopefully I'll have more opinion once I do more races
