A few interesting experiences, lately, courtesy of Texas4000: Continuing in my roll as team barber by shaving Steve’s head, so he could support his friend who was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer. Meeting Luci Baines Johnson at the finish line of the LBJ 100. She led the group enthusiastically in the “Eyes of Texas” song. […]
This blog is a little late coming because I have been lazy recently (especially over spring break). But now I have some cool stuff to talk about after volunteering at the LBJ 100 ride (which you should have done mom and dad, it was a really nice day for biking). I swam again this week, […]
I’ve had a strange but incredible breakthrough of sorts with Texas 4000 and training lately. My voice isn’t anything special. I’m proud of a lot of things, but my voice never made the cut. Actually, I’m unusually self-conscious about it. I won’t even watch videos of me most of the time without putting them on […]
Geese flying in a V-formation have always been a welcome sign of spring as well as a sign that heralds the coming of winter. Not only is this a marvelous sight, but there are some remarkable lessons that we can learn from the flight of the geese, because all that they do has significance. FACT: […]

I thought I would write a bit about some of the things that happen outside of biking in Texas 4000. At the end of spring break, we had training camp in Bastrop. We biked 180 miles over three days, and it was fantastic, but here is the highlight of my experience: On Friday, the Rockies […]
I need to start by telling you this blog started out as one thing, and ended up as another. I hope you still find it relevant. I’m really best at interacting with people one on one. For the most part. If it’s you, me, and some other random distractor (aka: a cup of coffee, manual […]
Last week was spring break for us here at UT and every year T4k goes on a three day trip riding. We rode Thursday through Saturday of last week and I gotta tell you, my muscles are sore! I rode a total of 191 miles because of getting lost or re-routing here and there. The […]
This Spring Break was the first time I didn’t go home to Dallas– not even for a day! A big chunk of the reason was I was busy with Texas4000 training and working on my senior thesis. Now since no one wants to hear about my thesis, I’ll write about my interesting, eye opening, and […]
I have never met Heather Wade in my life. I only know her through random Skype snippets, a drawing, and a nickname I’m supposed to come up with every month that rhymes with her name, Heather. I know, it all sounds strange, but the world is full of strange people. Heather Wade, although strange, is […]
