Zipp® products used: 303 Firecrest® tubular race wheels, Sub-9 Disc wheel for non-draft racing

Favorite Zipp product and why: I love my 303 Firecrests. They are a bit of a sleeper, I think. A lot of people go for the 404s but I like how the 303 Firecrests handle and I find them perfect for road racing and draft legal racing – the perfect balance between speed and function.

Do you train with a SRAM-Quarq power meter? Yes.

What is one surprising or helpful thing you learned about yourself from training and/or racing with power? I don't actually look at the numbers all that much, I leave that to my coaches. I just ride hard and let them deal with analyzing the data.

You’re stranded on a desert island and you have to choose one of each of the following:

One album? A near impossible question to answer. I guess I'll say Adele – 21.

One candy? Chocolate covered gummy bears

One vice? French fries
