They say Red Bull gives you wings 🦋 but reality is that the ones by your side who love you unconditionally for who you are, know how to make the wings you already have, fly faster than you thought you could ever go! Just their presence makes you push yourself to limits your didn’t know you had, to be your absolute best. I love you Carlos to the moon 🌙 and back! 🌎 This guy drove over an hour and a half on Thursday to watch me race for less than 30 minutes at the @dfwsummerseries. If that’s not love, I don’t know what is. I had a major headache all day and felt like I was getting sick. Funny thing is he almost talked me out of racing on a text message earlier that day because of how I was feeling. That would have been a total bummer if he drove all that way and I had taken his advice. 😂😳 But instead, I gave it a go, and just as I decided to back off on my pace going into my second lap, there he is on the side of the road cheering me on! It was a total surprise and I got a huge burst of energy! So with a big smile on my face I put my head down, stood up on my pedals, and spread my wings to fly! I hammered as hard as I could for two more laps and finished in second place. 🥈 Then Saturday night at the @bigpigcf Ray Porter Memorial Race I partnered up with my #dirtsidesisters @andreannal for the 6 hour relay. I went out for the first leg and nearly blew myself up with three brutal laps in the heat. 🥵 Lap after lap Carlos was there in the pit to drench me in cold water and ice packs, and send me on my way. Each time I came through it brought me back to life. Tonight Andreanna and I won our category and I received an award for the fastest women’s lap and the first woman to reach the Stairway To Bacon!!! 🥓🏆🚵🏻‍♀️💨💨 I did have a Red Bull tonight, but I know how I really got my wings! ❤️❤️❤️😉😘

All I have to say is putting on events and racing is a hard combo. Not gonna lie, I’ve been in my pj’s all day and it felt so good! 😅 I was feeling really tired yesterday so I dropped down to the 40 mile race from the 100k I had originally signed up for, and 20 miles in I was soooo happy with my decision to do that. Went hard out of the gate and after we split from the 65 milers I started to get dropped from the few guys in my group who were still riding strong. Rode the second half solo and was so tired I felt like I could have fallen asleep on my bike. 😵 Happy my hard start was enough to keep me in first till the end and ninth overall, but BEST OF ALL, not spend the night in an Urgent Care like the last time I did this event!!! Such bad memories from that so this was a total WIN! Not to mention Carlos finished 13th in the men’s 100k Open! . Thank you @thespinistry for another great event!!! Now it’s time to recharge. 💤 . #allthesleep #sotired #sleepsohard #midnightmassacre2019 #dirtsideracing #getmorewomenriding

1st Place today at @thespinistry Hell of the North gravel grinder in Paris, TX. 🗼 Jumped up categories to the A Race, suffered for the full 69 miles averaging 17.7 mph, and came out on top. It was definitely a soul crusher with how bad it hurt. Huge thanks to Kevin Lee and the city of Paris! They had the nicest volunteers at all the rest stations who helped us come back to life each time. Also, there’s no way I could do this without my amazing hubby who always let’s me chase him and tows me around all the time! 😘 . . @dirtsidesisters #dirtsideracing #getmorewomenriding #ouchthathurt #gravel

That time I tried to take a selfie after going to the dentist 🦷 and only half my face worked. 😂 You should have heard me buying ice at the gas station! 🥴 #truestory #numbtomyeyes #dirtsideracing #dirtsidesisters
