You may be wondering, "What's up with the name Star Stink?!"
Well, it is actually two-fold.
First, the name "Star Stink" came about when my brother and I were little. Whenever we would get excited, we would put all our fingers together, move them around wildly and yell, "STAR STINK!!!!" I have no idea where this came from or why "Star Stink" but we have been doing it for as long as I can remember, and we still do it today.
Second, in September 2009, Carol Pope and I had a very brief conversation at Austin's Tri that has lead to a very big undertaking - the Race Across America (RAAM) - a 3,000 mile bike race from California to somewhere on the east coast (the route changes every year). We decided then and there that we were going to assemble a 4 woman relay team and "do RAAM". We had no idea how, what, who but we knew we would figure it out. When we got the team together for our first meeting in October, we decided on the name "Team Galaxy". Because I get so excited whenever I think about doing RAAM, and we have a "galaxy/star" theme to our team, I just have to put my hands together, move my fingers wildly about, and yell "STAR STINK!"
