Admirable Athlete: Katie Compton; Katie started racing as a para-legic tandem rider due to a leg condition, a condition which causes great pain in her muscles. Despite her condition, she competes at the national and international level in one of the most difficult cycling disciplines...cyclo-cross. She has such great physical and mental power
to keep her going strong. I always read her tips in magazines on how she became successful and it is very motivational.

Unique Info or Story: Don't really have one yet...but will share soon:)!

Most embarrassing: I would have to go with just crashing (not that I do
it often...just happens sometimes) in general, especially in front of
spectators.
