The Americans are Coming
Wed May 26 13:35:00 -0400 2010
The Paracycling Bizkaiko Bira is a two day, three stage race in the Basque region of Spain. The first two stages were short time trials- 11k and 13.6k respectively- followed by a short road race- 42k. Like most of my American teammates, I specialize in the time trial. We got up Saturday to a steady… Read More

April camp just wrapped up in Chula Vista, CA. Most of us have been racing for a while now, but you could say this served as the official kick off to the season. Unlike December or January camp where we log lots of… Read More

Another year in the books
Tue Dec 22 13:58:00 -0500 2009
It's close enough to the end of the year for my yearly recap. The 2008 season was somewhat disappointing for me- fourth place really sucks if you didn't already know- and there were a lot of outside stresses to be dealt with, but it is what it is. I had to get over that. While being fourth is an… Read More

Real life?
Thu Dec 10 15:36:00 -0500 2009
I'm intrigued by people's relationships with a little thing called "real life." Now, I'm real and alive, so I suppose technically, I'm part of this real life business. But, not really. Essentially, I live the life of a retiree... at 21, and without any money. By no means am I complaining, no, I… Read More

Fri Nov 13 13:31:00 -0500 2009

Greta Neimanas Blog - Deep in the pain cave
Tue Oct 13 12:48:00 -0400 2009
Track World Championships are fast approaching. That means it's training camp time (as opposed to just regular training) which means trips to LA and the indoor track there. The team this year is an amazingly cohesive training group. Basically, we can slay each other properly in training. Craig… Read More

Mon Sep 28 12:53:00 -0400 2009
If you’re a regular reader of this site, you may already know (because I’m slow at updating this thing) that Worlds went very well for me. This was my third World Championships, so going in to it, I knew what to expect for the most part. This was the first year that the road and track… Read More

Greta Neimanas' Blog - Sometimes, I …
Thu Aug 27 12:25:00 -0400 2009
Sometimes I just feel like smiling. I really don't have anything in particular to be so happy about, but at the same time, I have absolutely everything to be happy about. Right now, I'm reclining in my old man's recliner chair (my sole piece of furniture) struggling to stay awake after an exhausting… Read More

Greta Neimanas' Blog - Living the Gypsy Life
Tue Aug 04 18:39:00 -0400 2009
At what point in your life do you say, "I want to live out of a backpack and a car when I grow up?" I don't remember aspiring to that, but that's where I'm at now. Five weeks ago I packed my laundry basket with clothes and a race bag with my competition gear and got in the car. This was to be… Read More
