Carson, CA-Boulder's Cari Higgins (Peanut Butter & Co/2012 Professional Cycling Team) completed her competition at the 2010 US Elite Track Cycling National Championships on Sunday with the addition of two more national titles.

Earlier in the week, Higgins also won National titles in the Women's Team Pursuit and Points Race. She has eleven career National Championships and four Pan American Cycling Championship medals.
Higgins commented "I am really inspired by starting my track cycling season off with a strong Nationals. I am looking forward to a great winter of racing internationally with the US National Team as we work towards our goal, the London 2012 Olympics".

Recovery
I didn't even have a chance to post ONE THING from Nationals. You would think that this week would allow me the opportunity to get caught up on all things blog. Not really.
What have I done this recovery week? Goes something like this...
Monday- travel, sleep, eat lots
Tuesday- sleep, celebrate birthday, drive to Denver to pick up bikes and Katie/Mark's dog, doctor, birthday dinner with friends, sleep
Wednesday- SLEEP, yoga, finally make it to the grocery so I can stop eating Clif bars, SLEEP BIG TIME
Thursday- SLEEP more then I thought was possible, decide that laundry was a must, SLEEP, and SLEEP again
Friday- sunrise hike, nap, lunch with a friend, fight the nap.... and maybe some more yoga
I think I am starting to feel normal again. This is all just in time to start the hard training again. It's all a crazy cycle!
Ok... race reports and pictures from Nationals are on their way. This weekend, it will all be posted!

Really?
If a sprinter sits out the Scratch race and signs up for the Individual Pursuit instead, is she still a sprinter?
Do not disturb: Therapy in session.
