Yea, our spelling sucks too..hows this for an excuse.. were too busy to get the get stuff out we get ahead of ourselves, kinda like jump starting your sentences. this installment of Sceners is of a woman who is new but not green to our scene. Kacey Manderfield, although she spend most of her time outta state at school were still gonna claim her. First time we heard of her was last summer when she spent doin time at some NRC races, then later she returned back MI for some cat 1-2 duty, which put her in the $ more than once. She's one thing this sport needs more of, fast, cute, and personal women. heres look into her life. Keep it up ,were behind you!
Day in the life (this is an account from the school year):
My day usaully starts early as i roll out of bed between 6 and 7am. I rarely use an alarm and just do best to wake up early and get the day started. I'll have some tea and breakfast to start the day, or occationally a coffee...but i usually save that kick for race mornings! During the week I either do a morning workout of some sort or try to be productive and get some school work done so the afternoon will be open for riding. My classes would begin at 8 or 9:30 and finish up in early or mid afternoon. Usually it was straight back to the apartment to kit up and get on the saddle for some time before the sun went down. I'll ride in most any weather and with or without others. Once done riding i usually stretch a bit and graze the kitchen before getting cleaned up. Gatherings of a few common riding partners and I became a regular for dinner plans and we would whip up whatever we had or make a trip to the market to get whatever we just couldn't live without! In the evening my energy starts to run low and I usally just do easy school work, take care of email stuff and maybe read a little before getting to bed, which I try to do between 9:30 and 10:30 if not earlier depending on how I feel after the day. I guess that's about it for a typical day, but I'm looking forward to this summer and not havng such a big block of time taken up from sitting in class!
I kicked the season off at the Greenville training series in NC, where i got some good results. Straight into the Collegiate season from there, where i am racing for Lees-McRae located in Banner Elk, NC! As a team we won the conference and I recieved the womens conference title. In a week we head off to Nationals in Kansas and i'm hoping to be part of some more good results there! Overall i've been getting good results and i'm hoping all the climbing i've been doing in NC is going to transfer into some speed and power here pretty soon to carry me through the season with more good results to come! O, and i should mention that for the 2007 season i will be racing for Verducci/Breakaway out of Philly and i'm looking forward to that expereince. And i will of course be a fully supportive Wolverine when i'm in MI and do whatever I can to help the club in addition to promoting the Velodrome, which i enjoy so much!
Verducci/Breakaway out of Philly
Hang on and hope to make it to a point where i can attempt to sprint with them and work on some speed.
I really enjoyed cross and i wish it wasn't so close to track nationals. I would like to tell you i'm going to train a ton for it and try to tear some legs off, but more realistically i will probably just fit in what i can between all the track stuff, try to get better technically and go get my legs ripped off.
Hahahaha....do you think i'm make of money. Do the disk breaks on my mountain bike count? I can't remember the last time i bought music, i just borrow CD from friends to put in my computer and they end up in my ipod from there. If you've got anything good let me know...
Ask me in a year...of course i have some ideas but i'm taking the laid back wait and see what happens path on this issue right now!
A wednesday night training race at the Velodrome at the begining the summer of 2004! I think my first races on a road bike were the Micheal Rabe races at Waterford at the end of the 2004 season.
This is complicated...it depends on what i am in the mood for. I have a fedish for peanut butter, nutella, and dark chocolate covered espresso beans. As far as real food goes I really like a lot of things and i would have to say my favorite food is anything i've made with friends...its nice to make something together and then enjoy it together, even if that means making fun of how horrible it tastes, which dosn't happen often.
yes - i am a very fortunate and lucky girl!
No, unfortunatly those cost a lot of money.....if anyone wants to sponsor one for me just speak up!!! Eventually i would like to get that data collection system on my track and road bike!

i remember seeing KC out at the velodrome...i even got beat by her in some B races back in 2004...and now to read that those were her first races, man-sakes-alive, I better go back and eat some more humble pie. Way to put it to the racers, keep up the strong riding KC.
Boy, I remeber when we used to have to tell Kacey that you are not supposed to wear underwear underneath her riding shorts. Now she is a total stud and a real motivation to myself and so many other riders...keep it up.
you mean she wears nothing at all under those shorts?
So..... I'm not supposed to wear underwear when I'm riding? Why didn't anybody tell me?
