Although I have not been racing 'yet' this season, I've still been at the races. This year I am the team physician for Aaron's Pro Women's Cycling Team (you may recognize some of their riders as former Velo Bellas) and this role has been keeping me busy off the bike. This past weekend was the Commerce Bank Liberty Classic in Philadelphia where I played soigneur in addition to doctor. I now have a huge amount of respect for the individuals who serve as soigneurs as well as the riders who are constantly on the move from one race to the next with very little support. I now know what it is like to fill, ice down, and transport 40 various concoctions in bottles...and that is just the beginning.
Maybe some of those concoctions will help me out during my first triathlon in August???
