Traka 200 went well, but the people and the experience were the real takeaway.

A 13th place result wasn’t what I was aiming for but a lot went right on race day, setup and nutrition felt dialed, and I felt strong up the climbs and spent most of the race in a group of four fighting for the top six. We got caught by the peloton with 22k to go and I fell off the group for the final sprint, which stung, I’m close but not quite there yet. But will take that feeling with me to the next race for motivation. Really glad I made the trip and got a taste of European gravel, getting use to road group dynamics.

It was so worthwhile to meet the European .5 and crew in person. Grateful to be a part of these programs.

Huge congrats to on the 520 win and course record 🤯

Fun course, great experience. Thanks .5 for the support and feeds, the new hydration skinsuit is a game changer. Thanks for dialing in the bike!
