I loved it. Then I took longer routes just to bike. I could've borrowed my dads' car, but I preferred biking. It was the Spring of 1994 when Freedman was a senior at Stanford, majoring in Urban Planning, when she began her competitive career on two wheels. She was a member of the Stanford University Cycling team and was riding 200-300 miles a week.
Freedman laughs at that now.
After graduating from Stanford, Freedman biked for Odwalla, a national developmental team. She spent two years with Odwalla before moving up to the Shakely team she's with today. Freedman works very hard in training in preparation to her racing. In addition to riding the bike, she also lifts free weights. This cross-training routine is varied as much as possible.
