Pedal Fest at Deer Valley was a career low for me, hopefully. I felt really great aerobically and muscularly but I kept making bad technical mistakes in the corners. Then on the second lap, I clipped a tree with my bar & went over my bars hard. A hit to my head took me a solid minute to recover from, but I determined I was still OK to ride. I came in 6th, not 4th as the podium picture looks. My Dad came to watch my race and I couldn't have been more grateful to have him there after the race. Results. Garmin File.

Kathy Sherwin won the race and is the new state champion! It's great to have someone from Utah hold that title this year. Katherine O'Shea is THE Australian National Champion, she came in second behind Kathy. Talk about stiff competition, it's fun to have such a strong field of women!
