Cycling races & fitness events

My first competition, 4 months after I started riding. Although I was embarrassed about competing on a hybrid bike and in sneakers among the crowd of pros on cool road bikes, I managed to finish the bike & run course in 2:57 hours.

This charitable bike ride event allowed me to combine my passion for cycling with helping fund free bike education programs.

After a long winter, training indoors on my Wahoo Kickr smart trainer, I felt ready to take on longer distances and I signed up for the GFNY medium course, a 50 mile ride ending up at the top of Bear Mountain, killer course but loads of fun!

I can never say no to my friends when they come up with crazy ideas like doing a Spartan race! I hardly ever run since I started cycling, although I enjoyed the camaraderie and the feeling of being part of a community that shares a common goal: living an active and healthy life.

In 2022 NY Triathlon has officially introduced a Duathlon bike & run course (1 mile run / 25 mile bike / 6 mile run) although the morning of the race the officials decided to cut all distances in half due to the heat. The run part was a real struggle in 90+ degrees!

Joined by my two friends we competed as a relay team, where I was the designated cyclist :) and completed the 56 mile bike course in 3:14 hours.
