Favorite Race(s): The Worlds in Austria and the F-1 in Roswell. Funniest thing that has happened to you during a race: My famous parachute stunt at last year's stealth du. The temperature was 24 degrees and I wore this heavy jacket. At the turnaround on the bike it ballooned up like a parachute and I looked like the Goodyear blimp man. I was so grumpy even Felix held his tongue when passing me. Of course, Flip didn't. One piece of advice: Be Rocky Balboa. It's a 26 round fight--never, never, never, never give up.
