Mahokenatez: Birthdays and Bike Racing

Wow, another month has past and we only updates once! Well let see in the past month Pete went home to see family and friends while also celebrating his birthday. Kate was in Wisconsin for work:( but did get to spend time with Pete on his Birthday! The family went to Lambeau Field and had dinner at Curly's Pub. Most of the time spent at home was with family. The grandparents love seeing their baby girl!

Last weekend was Kate's first couple of races of the season. This took us to Tuscaloosa, AL for the Tour de Tuscaloosa. Tuscaloosa is nice college bar town. Day one was a criterium style race downtown around said bars! Kate was not feeling particularly well and had picked up a head cold while we were back home. Needless to say she struggled a bit but fought through it and managed to pass 2 girls in the sprint to the line. Day 2 took us out to Lurleen State Park for the road race. It was 30 miles of rolling hills. Kate was still a little under the weather but was feeling a little better overall. Unfortunately she flatted on the first of 3 laps! The wheel exchange was slow and she lost too much time to make up. I also forgot to mention it was raining cats and dogs! She persevered and finished the day alone and in the rain:( On a brighter note Kate's teammate won the event!

Here are a few pictures from the past month... in no particular order.
