So I have been thinking lately, looking at Big J’s posts on who is, and who is not a Baller (obviously, those not mentioned = not a Baller).
I have a nomination.
Seriously, this woman formerly from the Mid Atlantic region of the country is now, without a doubt, the hardest women’s cyclocrosser in the world today. No, she doesn’t have the rainbow stripes to prove it, but, look at almost every single race she enters. She dominates. Not only does she dominate local races around the US, she dominates over in Europe. Hell, she smoked those Euro chicks today by almost 3 minutes. 3 FUCKING MINUTES!
I hope she has her leg issues figured out for WCs this year, because once again, if she has, she is going to smoke them, and we will have our first Elite World Champion in Cyclocross from the United States, and that, my friends, would make her the Queen Baller.
Who disagrees with me? No way that you can. No way.
Yea. A brother could get chick’d by that. Amen.
Back in my truly pathetic mountain bike racing days, did a race once in Philly, and she was there. Women’s field started like 10 minutes behind us, she passed most of the sport class like it was standing still. She was a beast then. I got chick’d once by Lyne Bessette as well in a Pro 1-2 road race. She is another hard as nails woman.
KFC. nuff said.
i wanted KC to have her own label here on DC. please someone bad ass females to this!
I’m in. Good is good and hard is hard, regardless of your ability to stand and pee. She’s a baller.
And it looks like it was done. Bad Ass Female indeed.
Shes a straight up baller. Maybe add Connie Carpenter into that list – not many women end up with their jersey in the Ghisallo shrine.
…100% right + 100…
KC is without a doubt the shiznit! Serious hardcore racer.
Absolute bad ass! Heard she won today while at the cross race. Even more stoked to hear that she is an animal lover. We are rooting for you all the time Katie!
the lack of snark in this thread has me suicidal
this keeps up and I’ll delete the DC bookmark, please, just one little thin mint of something cheeky!
Which cheek ya want? I got four.
Katie’s pretty awesome and her hubby Mark is no slouch either. Couple nomination??
I nominate Cindy Whitehead. To win a 50 mile mountain bike race standing up the whole way after breaking your seatpost in the first mile, that is bad ass. http://sonic.net/~ckelly/Seekay/whitehead.htm
yo! yo! yo! i sent katie a link to this post and this is what she just emailed to me:
KC:
Katie Compton
Knob Creek
Kettle Corn
All awesome in their own way
