Haley Smith: August 2013
http://haleyhuntersmith.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, 9 August 2013. Canada Summer Games 2013. After an almost two year buildup leading into the legendary Canada Summer Games, the week had finally come. We made the trek to Sherbrooke travelling in none other than The Beast (other names include Wesley, Big Wez, and/or the Black Mamba) piloted by our wonderful coach Mike Garrigan. Seeing the thousands of athletes dressed in their respective provincial gear was pretty cool. It really did feel like a miniature athlete's village! The Cauldron is lit!

Haley Smith: January 2014
http://haleyhuntersmith.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 18 January 2014. Getting Down To Business. First of all, I'd like to say how happy I am that I will be racing for Norco Factory Team. I'm so excited that I'll be racing alongside my teammates from last year, as well as with Cayley Brooks and Peter Disera. The team is a force to be reckoned with - look out for us on the trails! It will be an awesome season of racing and travelling with some of the coolest people around. Can't wait for the adventures to start. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 5th Cana...

Haley Smith: The Last Push
http://haleyhuntersmith.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-last-push.html
Tuesday, 26 November 2013. This past weekend marked the last race weekend of the year for me. It also marked my last day as a teenager (D:! And the last weekend of Fall Semester. Fittingly, the weather turned frigid on Saturday, reminding me that as all the fun stuff is going to have to take a back seat for a while, winter really is coming. Watching the boys race on Sunday was a ton of fun; lots of banter going back and forth between Evan and the Andrews. Super nice to see them sweep the podium! Sorry I ...

Haley Smith: April 2013
http://haleyhuntersmith.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 23 April 2013. After finishing second year university, I was lucky enough to kick off the summer in style at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California. I flew down on Wednesday and met up with the rest of the Norco Factory Team crew (minus a few XC guys and gal). After a long winter apart, it was great to see these guys again! I definitely missed my second family over the long winter months. Man, do I ever love my bike. I wasn't super happy with my result, but I felt like I rode reasonab...

Haley Smith: It's been a long time.
http://haleyhuntersmith.blogspot.com/2013/10/its-been-long-time.html
Tuesday, 29 October 2013. It's been a long time. I can't complain too much though; we were learning some pretty cool stuff. From learning to conduct a submaximal VO2 max test, to taking and examining our own blood lipid profiles, to. drawing with our feet (? Lots of cool stuff going on in Kin! On a side note, a ran into a Queen's PHE/Kin alumnus on the weekend - none other than Kevin Simms! The world really is small. And very cool. But that's enough about school. On to more exciting things! We sprinted f...

Haley Smith: September 2013
http://haleyhuntersmith.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 16 September 2013. Provincials, School, and Mario Kart. What if I haven't trained hard enough? What if I try my best and nothing comes of it? Were rattling around in my head. When it came down to race time though, I locked those demons in a closet and reminded myself why I race: to push myself past my limits, to have fun riding my bike, and to enjoy the company of a sick group of people (among many other reasons). In light of the end of the season, I just want to take a minute to thank everyone w...

Haley Smith: May 2013
http://haleyhuntersmith.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 18 May 2013. Juste de l'eau pour moi, s'il vous plait. After almost a week in beautiful Germany, I can safely say that I love it here; everyone is so friendly, and the scenery is breathtaking! If I had to describe this region of Germany in one word I would say "cozy". I ain't hatin' it. Friday night saw the Canadian National team entering their first ever eliminator race! Those girls can get INTENSE. Full results can be found at Canadian Cyclist. Also a huge thanks to Norco, Shimano, Kenda and ...

Haley Smith: December 2013
http://haleyhuntersmith.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 December 2013. Out With The Old, In With The New. Happily, 2013 also brought some of my best races and some of the best experiences I've ever had. I can't thank everyone who was a part of my year enough! My rough races, and any other sticky spots I got, well, "stuck" in. I wish words could describe how grateful I am to all of you. 3 months of wicked riding are planned, taking place in Arizona, California, and Victoria. I'm going to miss my family and the snow (yes, actually! Got to ride and r...
