It's official. I'm one of the newest Team TBB athletes and will be packing my bike and training gear to the Philippines by the end of the month. I'm amazed how fast news spreads on the Internet as I've already had dozens of people email me to wish me good luck. Chuckie, who has already written about the decision I've made on his blog, is 100% behind me. Most coach's wouldn't be so quick to say that this is a once-in-a-career opportunity and push me toward another coach.I'm very excited and equally as nervous! Chuckie has been trying to help me prepare for Sutto's style of training (which, as far as I can gather is not exactly easy). I've been doing some longer hillier runs and some hard bike intervals...trying to sit on Chuckie's wheel. I'm told Subic Bay is hot and humid so I've been overdressing anytime I'm back outside! I don't know quite what to expect but I am assuming the training will be tough (not that it has exactly been a cakewalk under Chuckie!). But I believe this new venture will be a step in the right direction toward my dreams and goals.
I plan to keep this blog up and rolling, as well as starting a new blog on the Team TBB website. Be sure to check it out at the end of the month or in early February! At this time I hope to race primarily in North America, but under Doc's guidance, he will have final say. Good thing I finally got my new passport!
See you at the races, whichever ones they may be!

Angela I wish you the best of luck in the next phase of your journey to become the champ. You are truly amazing and continue to inspire all of us ol' lady age groupers!
We'll miss you whizzing by us at Spring Fling this year and will look forward to getting updates from you often.
Jenelle, from the Seattle Crew
Wooooooo PG Champion!
Congratulations. Sounds like an awesome opportunity.
Hey Ang
I checked out the TBB site, it looks interesting. It will sure be a lot different experience from what you have been doing.
It should be a great opportunity for you but I think it is an even better deal for them to get to know you.
Congratulations and soak up the experience.
Congratulations on making it onto Brett Sutton's radar screen. It's obvious your work ethic, past performances, and good coaching on the part of C.V. got his attention.
Looking forward to see you continue to kick butt around the triathlon world!
Wow! Team TBB. Way to go, soak it up!
Happy to say best of luck with team TBB. Heather and I were looking forward to training with you though. I'm sure we'll see you at Wildflower, perhaps sooner if your training brings you back to Lompoc area.
