by Molly Hurford When I first started working as the online editor for Cyclocross Magazine and first started writing this column, nearly a year ago, I had big goals for myself. “My personal goal, which was super-top-secret until now, is to podium overall in both the MAC series and the Verge series in the Women’s [...]
by Molly Hurford It’s been a very busy few weeks. Between getting home from Georgia after Southern Cross, moving into the “cyclocross hub” of the Northeast, and heading out for a casual five-day, 538 mile ride, it’s been a little hectic. But in the best way possible. First of all, I survived Tim Johnson’s Ride [...]
by Molly Hurford I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love my job. When “work” entails tagging along with Tim Johnson on the Ride on Washington in order to interview him for a feature, that, my friends, is one hell of a business trip. Of course, four straight 100+ mile days is [...]
by Molly Hurford I’m finally back in the Northeast, my training trip to Georgia completed. I have a bike tan (well, one shade darker below my bib shorts line, anyway), I survived two of the Winter Bike League’s crazy Saturday hammer-fests, I managed to race my ’cross bike, despite it being February, and I stammered [...]
by Molly Hurford I’m sitting in my room at a wonderful host house in Athens, Georgia, while I’m writing this. I’m down here for the month, training. That’s the major bonus of working from home: the ability to, well, work from home. The amazing family I’m staying with has been called the first family of [...]
by Molly Hurford It’s finally over … and while I miss cyclocross and seeing my favorite people every weekend, I’m a little thrilled to be in the off-season. Though when you write for a cycling magazine and race road and cyclocross, the off-season doesn’t really last too long. When I got in the car to [...]
by Molly Hurford “Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.” I don’t know about you all, but whenever I thought about Nationals, my mind went straight to “Romeo and Juliet” and Shakespeare. For those [...]
by Molly Hurford It’s that time of year again: the halls are getting decked, I’m forcing housemates/friends/random strangers to watch The Muppet’s Christmas Carol whilst drinking soynog and eating excessive amounts of cookies, and there’s a chance that I’ve done some serious threshold-interval-level shopping. However, this year is different. I’m trying to ration the cookies [...]
by Molly Hurford Cyclocross season is nearly over in the US, though in Europe, there are still quite a few races to be won. But for the average cyclocrosser in the US, the season is at its end, with merely a month to go before Nationals and Masters Worlds. As someone who has, in the [...]
by Molly Hurford When I was a triathlete (don’t stop reading because I admitted that!), when you finished a race and looked at your score, what you saw was a realistic reflection on you as an athlete. With no drafting and no one but yourself to blame (unless you count getting kicked in the head [...]
