Katie Compton Interview
January 13, 2010
Over at Cyclocross Magazine, I got to interview one of my favorite 'cross riders, National Champ and current #1 ranked rider in the world Katie Compton (here is part one and part two).
Katie was nice enough to take out time from training to explain the logistics of racing in Europe, the training required, and finally how hard it is to make a living even when you're the best cyclist in the world.
I literally had no idea the Elite Womens and Mens payouts were so vastly different on the national and world stage -- it makes be proud that we've always paid men and women's winners equally at our Short Track and Cyclocross races. Here's hoping that major events start to follow they way we've always done our local race series.
