Trail Tuesday 7/5

-
Before we bring on the trails, I want to take a minute and celebrate TRIALS Tuesday! Anyone who was watching the Olympic Trials yesterday had to be blown away by all of the amazing accomplishments from our American athletes. The Oiselle teammates were all amazing, but Kate Grace was by far the most inspiring athlete of the day. Sadly, my heart broke for Alysia Montano as she took a fall and struggled to finish at the end. As much as it was painful to watch, it is inspiring to watch someone pick herself off the ground and finish.

Now for the trails...Enjoy!

America, the beautiful!
