I am currently in Big Bear, CA doing some altitude training for the upcoming Tour of Utah. I have been here for a week already and have one more week to go. I've been sick with bronchitis all week but I'm finally feeling better after conceding to some antibiotics. I figure even if I'm not training much I will still get the benefits of acclimating. I am looking forward to Utah since it is a race I have done very well at in the past.

After Tour of Utah I will be fine tuning my form for two weeks leading up to USPRO road race. There will be a bit more pressure this year but that's OK.

From USPRO I will be going to Univest Grand Prix in PA the next week. Univest is a UCI race that I have always wanted to do but have never had the opportunity. I'm definitely looking forward to it. Please look for my Race Journals starting on August 13th from Tour of Utah.
