| Trish Cohen's Quest for Maccabi Gold |
|
|
Imagine the thrill of marching into a stadium along with thousands of Jewish athletes from around the world. That’s where I’ll be July 2009 as part of the 900+ delegation representing the United States at the 18th World Maccabiah Games in Israel, as a member of the USA Cycling Team.
My journey to the Maccabiah Games began in 2006, when I first began racing my bike. I catted up from level 4 to a level 1 in one season by hitting the podium in most Florida races. In 2007, I began racing the Professional National Race Calendar schedule. In true Type-A fashion, I ran myself into the ground with work and racing and was out for the 2008 season. Now I'm finally feeling better and planning to take on the 2009 season with a vengeance.
My primary goal of the 2009 season is Maccabi Gold from the Holy Land. Inherent in this task is raising money for Team USA.

P.S. I Finally uploaded a photo that I don't hate. It is from the 2007 Redlands Classic Stage Race and it was taken from a far enough distance that you can't tell my helmet and glasses are askew, mouth is wide open, and snot is dangling from my nose. It's a cruel irony that I was riding in front of a church instead of a synagogue when this photo was taken. |
