In 2 weeks I’m
going to move back to the US to attend Indiana University for the
second year of my MBA program. This means big changes for my racing
since I will be going back to collegiate
racing and probably not doing any regular races. Also I will be racing
for my alma mater Purdue’s rival. It’s going to feel really strange the first time I race or even wear an IU jersey but I’m
looking forward to hopefully getting another shot at collegiate nationals both on the mountain bike and for road. I’m also looking forward to the riding in Bloomington which has lots of nice hills and quiet roads. Hopefully there
are some good placed to ride mountain bikes too.
My final race in Korea was the Yang Yang MCT race and I DNFed because I didn’t feel good and wasn’t
going to place well. The race was held on a super difficult course
and I wish I would have just stuck it out and finished now. If I come
back to Korea to work after graduating then I will definitely have to be
in better shape if I want to race that course again! That was my last
race here and I won’t
be racing again until September when the collegiate mountain bike race season starts.
Hopefully I will be back in
great shape by then. My parents recently moved to Santa Barbara, CA and
I will be spending 10 days there in August. It should be a great place
to train with nice weather and lots of climbing.
I’m hoping to be able to do some epic
mountain bike rides there too. I need to get some of my mtb skills back
after living in Seoul and not being able to ride single track for a
year.
I’m looking forward to going to the US to study for the year but I’m definitely going to miss everyone here in Korea. Especially my Cannodale-Neowood teammates who
I’ve raced with for the past 3 years. Hopefully I get a chance to come back and work in Korea again in the future.
