What's your most embarrassing moment?: One time at a cross race, when it took me half of a huge downhill to finally remount and the crowd was just silent, waiting for me to eat it or stick it. Or that time in cross, when I was warming up for the big Surf City race and all the men, including Chris Horner, were on the hill watching the women warm up and I just ate it face first into the dirt and started swelling and bleeding immediately. There's a lot of these types of memories from cross. It's getting better though.
