CEP Compression Winner and an Off-Season Begins!

This past weekend, I completed my final race of the season. I have never said that sentence with absolute certainty before, but after a year of solid training, racing and physical gains, I know it is time to take a rest before tackling another huge year or racing. 2014 is the biggest athletic year for… Read More…
