I have the Intermountain Cup Racing Series to thank for my mountain biking career. It was the first race and race series I entered. All of the people I've met through that series are amazing. In March of 2010 I raced my first race in the sport category. I upgraded to expert, then after a few races to pro. I did every race and ended up getting enough points to win 3rd place overall in the pro women category for 2010. Then in 2011 I missed just one race, but it was enough to win the series overall. 2012 I had another strong showing, winning the 4 races that I entered and that ended up being enough to win 3rd place overall. Since my crash I hadn't been checking the points and didn't realize where I ended up until last week when someone handed me this medal. Huge thanks to Ed Chauner for putting on this series for more than a decade, it's been a blast and a great learning tool for me. I hope it continues for many years to come!
