Meet Tiffany Pezzulo


Meet Tiffany Pezzulo. She has officially committed to racing for Primal Pro Women in 2013.


Tiffany is an all around awesome lady. You can count on Tiffany to be a leader on and off the bike. In 2011, Tiffany proved that she can sprint and step it up in a lead out during fast national criteriums.
 
When asked about next year, Tiffacy stated, "I'm stoked! Can't wait to race with these ladies, can't wait to share the love with cyclo-philes at USA Crits around the country through our clinics. I'm super excited to carry out an awesome mission while pursuing my dream!"

Your most memorable experience on and off the bike:
My most memorable experience on the bike was winning the Tulsa Tough Blue Dome Criterium in 2012. The year before I had raced horribly and that made me decide to go part-time at my job and get more committed to racing and training. Winning in Tulsa was special because it was the result of a huge team effort and it was accomplished with very dear friends cheering us all on the sidelines. The race was televised and my husband got to watch the race back in Utah too. I dug so deep that I threw up all over my bike after winning the race. That ended up being televised too.
Off the bike my most memorable experience was the birth of my son, Dmitri on July 4 this summer. Though it was "off the bike" my husband and I watched most of the tour stage until the contractions got too intense.

  2. I am shocked and disappointed I was not listed as one of your inspirations...in life and in cycling. Further, I am heartbroken that Pete Isert demonstrating the revolutionary "running man" training system to you wasn't your most memorable moment on the bike.

    Whatever works,

  3. I am stunned and frustrated I was not detailed as one of your ideas...in lifestyle and in riding a bicycle. Further, I am heartbroken that Pete Isert indicating the brand new "running man" coaching program to you was not your most unforgettable time on the bicycle. Resources
