My name is Jenny and I am very inspired by your journey to pro cycling. I can relate to you in some ways, being happy go lucky but being really determined when it counts. I live in Austin and am pretty competative in triathlons, and am considering just focusing on the bike. My background is in running, but once I started doing tri’s I have really fallen in love with cycling. I love racing and competition and would like to be able to compete at a pro level some day, and am not sure if that is in triathlon or in cycling; which is definately up to God. I have been encouraged by some people to just focus on the bike, because they think I may have more potential in cycling.
Was it challenging making the transition from riding in a triathlon to road racing? Was your first crit pretty scary? Do you have any suggestions on how to choose a cycling team to join?
Also, I am in the phase of my athletic journey to seek out sponsors and I’d like to ask your advice on how to prepare a portfolio to gain sponsors for cylcing and triathlon.

Thanks for the inspiration,
Jenny
